I am committed to creating an environment in which you can feel safe, heard, and understood. I start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you're facing. Together we'll put a plan in place to help you move forward, and we celebrate your successes along the way. I offer an inclusive, safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule. Helping people improve their quality of life is my passion. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss or life transition, or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck.

My goal in therapy is to help clients grow and connect with their most authentic selves. I am passionate about working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. As a queer and nonbinary person, I am uniquely tuned into the needs of gender expansive individuals and am very passionate about working with LGBTQ+ people. Finding a therapist that you don't have to explain your identity to can be challenging. I am someone who intimately understands and can provide specialized care.

My name is Dakota and I provide teletherapy in both the states of Georgia and Florida -- Finding our way through life’s journey can become overwhelming at times. We may reach stages where we feel out-of-touch, out-of-place, and out-of-sync. One method of addressing these bumps on our path is recalibrating how we understand ourselves and others. Learning new ways of handling and adapting to all of life’s changes can be revitalizing. I would be excited to be there with you on your path as a co-journeyer and as a provider of objective, researched-based counseling.

As an neurodivergent non-binary provider, I specialize in trauma work, eating disorders, and substance use. My approach is to guide clients in their recovery through a strengths-based approach and liberation mental health. This means that while working toward goals related to healing, we also do work towards reclaiming the neurodivergent and/or trans gender identity.

At Orion Psychotherapy, our mission is to support the expressive experiences of adolescents, adults, couples, and families, facilitating meaningful discovery and intentional change. With a Humanistic foundation and a person-centered approach, I meet you where you are and tailor techniques to your unique challenges. To be frank, I do much more than ask good questions and provide affirming vibes. I view treating mental illness and fostering mental health as distinct skills, encouraging clients to invest as much effort in addressing negative and dissociative emotions as they do in cultivating positive ones.

From childhood through late adulthood, there are certain times when we may need help addressing problems and issues that cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. Together we work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing goals, and becoming increasingly aware of reoccurring patterns that prevent growth. As awareness of one’s fears, perception, desires, and strengths increase, we are able to make successful life changes. Self-awareness by becoming more honest with ourselves can initiate the authenticity that often results in healing, transformation, and fuller life.
