ABOUT
HI, I'M DAWN
I have been caring for & about humans for a very long time. As an RN who is deeply committed to my patients, an educator who shared my passion with nursing students & now as a mental health counselor offering support through safe & welcoming spaces, I've come to a place in my career where I can meet people where they are at & help them expand their own self-awareness, process experiences, & envision themselves as informed agents in this journey of life. While my background is in working with families, I've grown a practice around all ages throughout the lifespan & my approach has been shared with individuals, couples, & group psychotherapy. My commitment to clients involves a holistic approach recognizing that the physical, psychological & spiritual are the full complement of our human existence. While my practices & procedures are built on empirical evidence, my approach is eclectic, unique, & most importantly anchored in compassion. The cornerstone of my work is grounded in empathy, understanding, & meaningful planning to reach goals.

Dawn's vision of building group therapy in Southern NH is rooted in the theoretical knowledge that sharing our experiences while supported by others is an antidote to loneliness & isolation. In a post pandemic culture & facing ever increasing reported rates of loneliness, group therapy offers an affordable & accessible option to lift the human spirit.
Dawn brings her years of clinical practice & strengths as an educator to her leadership role at Integrative Therapeutics & Aspen Group Counseling. She is prepared to work with you to identify which groups & services will best assist & support you to manage the challenges of daily living & meet them with resources, skills & tools. She looks forward to creating a space of support & learning with you & watching you reach your goals!
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Support people in an honest & compassionate manner, offering a space of shared community & experiences & organic changes will occur. Respect is returned for respect given; trust is built on action that is a resounding yes to the spoken word. In loneliness we shrink, when connecting with another we expand. Enough is a word we feel & when you arrive here you are enough. If you are talking about being alone, you are not alone.
OUR services
We offer small group counseling & community workshops. We also offer community services & service learning.
