Dawn Renae, BS (Intern)

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying grief, relationship stress, anxiety, past trauma, or major life changes on your own. You may feel stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from yourself or others, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, loss and grief, trauma, family stress, and difficult life transitions. I also support people who are navigating complicated family dynamics, including those connected to hoarding behaviors, as well as individuals exploring their relationship with food, body image, identity, and self-worth. This may include people considering or adjusting to bariatric procedures or learning to heal their relationship with their body in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. Together, we will explore the experiences, relationships, and patterns that may be impacting your emotional well-being while also building on your strengths and resilience. I believe healing happens at a pace that feels safe and manageable, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

I also recognize that our identities, cultures, spirituality, and personal values shape how we experience the world and ourselves. I welcome those conversations in therapy and aim to provide an inclusive and affirming environment where you can show up fully as yourself.
