Dana had a way of treating me that made me feel worthy of respect even when I felt I didn’t deserve it. Her support helped me heal and grow.  She helped me to discover ways I could overcome my obstacles. To this day Dana has impacted my life on such a powerfully positive level that I will forever be grateful for her presence in my life. She is truly a gift to me and so many others.  She has incredible talent.    - Ashley

Being a gay kid is really challenging. My experience was nearly overwhelming. Talking to Dana was the support and encouragement I truly needed to help me believe it would get better one day. She helped me get a plan to communicate my feelings to my parents and helped my parents understand what I was going through.    - Travis

Dana's genuine nature always made me feel at ease expressing myself. At the time, it seemed she was the only one who could understand my struggle.  Prior to working with Dana, it felt shameful for me to express my feelings.  My time with Dana changed all of that.    - Shonda

Being kicked out by your parents is an extremely isolating feeling.  The process shed a negative light on so many aspects of my childhood and my hometown.  Dana helped me ground myself at a time when it felt like I would never be happy again.  I think her time in my life played a key role in my development for where I am today.  Today I am successful and happy.    - Wayne 

My daughter was in 7th grade  and was dealing with “mean girl” drama. She was so unhappy, suffering from anxiety, and showing signs of depression. Her mental state was concerning and we just did not know how to handle the situation. Dana’s calm approach and assurances were invaluable during this time. She helped us find a way through the chaos and my daughter experienced valuable growth in the process. We so appreciated Dana’s years of experience in dealing with teens – there was nothing we were going through that she had not seen before! Knowing she had navigated similar waters many times gave us much needed confidence that we would make it through the tough middle school years successfully…..and happily that confidence was not misplaced! Our daughter is now a thriving high school student and we could not be more appreciative of Dana’s support and guidance during those tough years.    - Renee
