Hi, I'm Dana, Supervisee Therapist at Realign Your Mind. I earned my master’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and began my career in community-based services before transitioning to focus solely on therapy. My work with diverse populations, along with my own lived experiences, has shaped my deep appreciation for the complexities of identity and intersectionality. I know each person's story is layered, and I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion and respect. 

In my work, I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, valued, and respected. Building trusting relationships is at the heart of my approach, and I believe therapy works best when it’s a true partnership. My goal is to empower you to identify your strengths, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in your life.

I am passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and provide therapy for both kids and adults. I support clients facing anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma, and utilize EMDR therapy to help gently process and heal from painful experiences. My approach is down-to-earth, creating a space where therapy feels natural, supportive, and genuine. I also help to navigate life transitions and relationship challenges, creating space for self-discovery and growth.
