She is a Licensed School Counselor in the state of NJ, holds a CEAS as a Student Assistance Coordinator, and is a Licensed Associate Counselor in the Integrated Adolescence Program. Dana’s early career as an equine professional involved teaching clients of all ages how to ride and care for horses, develop young horses for sport and pleasure riding, and rehabilitating and working with difficult or “problem” horses. Dana’s work with horses has given her a unique perspective on trauma informed practice. She firmly believes that every individual needs the space and patience to grow, develop, and heal at their own pace and in their own way.

Dana enjoys utilizing her authentic self, combined with a strength base approach and empathetic insight to empower her clients. She recognizes that each individual responds to their experiences differently. Dana’s goal is to support her clients in a way that works for them. She has a passion for working with the adolescent population. Dana enjoys helping clients on their journey to determine their own paths and assist in their development of skills to help them create a fulfilling and peaceful life.
