How I Work

My treatment methods.

Evidence-based approaches, blended thoughtfully and tailored to each person, family, and season of life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and promote positive behavioral change. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, clients gain insight and make meaningful progress.

Compassion Focused

Compassion-focused techniques help clients cultivate self-compassion, reduce shame, and build emotional resilience, fostering a kinder, more supportive inner dialogue.

Family Therapy

With extensive experience in family therapy, I work with families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships, creating a more cohesive family dynamic.

Grief Therapy

Specialized grief therapy supports individuals navigating loss, helping them process their emotions and find ways to honor loved ones while moving forward.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing encourages clients to explore their motivations and ambivalence, a collaborative approach to setting and achieving meaningful personal goals.

Tailored to you

Every client is different. I draw from these methods as needed so therapy fits your goals, your pace, and the chapter of life you're in.

“My therapist Donna is kind, caring, compassionate, professional & has a sense of humor. I have been in & out of therapy for a while before coming here & I have had the most help & improvement here. There is also a virtual group therapy that is very healing, supportive & encouraging. Overall my therapist Donna has been a blessing & I feel very fortunate.”

“Finding the right therapist for your child is one of the most nerve-wracking decisions a parent can make… and I truly feel so lucky we found Donna. Over the past year, she has helped my 13-year-old grow in confidence, communication, and emotional awareness in ways I honestly didn't think were possible. My child feels safe with her, not judged, not pushed, just understood. She has a way of connecting with teens that makes them actually WANT to open up (which any parent of a teenager knows is priceless).”

“Two members of our family have seen Mrs. Donna for therapy, one child and one adult. She has guided us through challenges with such care and also provides a maintenance program that has been a true blessing. We are so grateful, Mrs. Donna, thank you for being such a steady and encouraging support in our lives!”

“Donna has been a very important piece of our family healing and has continued to provide a warm and safe environment to my children after losing their father 3 years ago. She has also worked with them with anxiety and fears they have come across along the way. Her soft demeanor and cleverness has earned their trust and keeps them engaged to follow through with homework and coping skills she has taught them to tackle their day to day challenges.”
