When you feel safe and supported, then and only then are you able to let your guard down and get in touch with your core issues and feelings. The most important measure of whether therapy will have a positive outcome is the connection between you and your therapist. For this reason, my goal is to create a warm and supportive environment in which you will be respectfully heard, cared about and not judged in any way. My overall approach is conversational, non-judgemental and solution focused with humor and laughter always welcome :)

Donna aligns closely with Adlerian, Cognitive behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapy. Adlerian theory has been shown in research for treating multiple mental health conditions: anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenic, and substance abuse disorders. Adlerian theory suggests that people are driven by a need to feel that they matter, and they belong. How do you want to grow as a person, what are your dreams and goals? Donna is passionate about offering a non-judgmental, supportive environment to men, women, couples and children; ages four and up.

EGS Counseling is a multicultural environment where you will feel welcome and appreciated. Having studied the cultural aspects of living abroad throughout my life I understand the difficulties of being in a different country, where our personal values may clash and bounce. Cultural understanding is weaved in our sessions as it is a part of relational conflict within the families. We have extensive expertise in a variety of areas, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship and marital difficulties, divorce and life transitions, adolescent behavior problems, parenting issues, eating disorder, personality disorders, abuse and trauma, and adjustment difficulties.

If you are ready to make that change, are open minded to learning non-traditional therapeutic methods, then please reach out to me and we’ll get started!

Life is full of transitions. Whether graduating college, leaving home, starting or ending a relationship, childbirth, career change, bereavement, or aging, such transitions can stir up strong emotions, causing stress and even grief. I help individuals from young adulthood through their senior years who are facing depression, anxiety, and other personal challenges to access the strengths they possess and the skills they need to navigate such struggles with renewed confidence, presence of mind, and embodied capabilities.

We all go through adverse life experiences that can take a toll on our emotional well-being. The stress of the past can sometimes end up following us and continuing to drive how we feel and the decisions we make. However, these hardships that we go through do not have to end up hindering our functioning and stagnating our growth. I also specialize in depression, self-esteem, anxiety, women and cultural issues. I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced physical, emotional and/or sexual trauma or neglect during their childhood.
