Hello, I'm Dana — a therapist and supervisor in the Bodynamic system, and a board member of the Association for Bodynamic Psychology. Since 2014, I've been running a private practice. My professional path is also deeply rooted in lived experience. After many years of chronic pain that conventional approaches couldn't resolve, somatic therapy opened a different doorway. Through deep body–emotional work, the pain eventually lifted, old experiences came into awareness, and my relationship with my body fundamentally changed. This experience became an important part of what led me more deeply into somatic psychotherapy and, in 2014–2015, into Bodynamic. Today, I am particularly interested in the intelligence of the body and in what becomes possible when we move beyond trying to fix or manage our experience and begin to understand how the body has learned to organize around it.

Dana's professional treatment is based on many years of experience and a multitude of educational training that support each other. She works intuitively and has the ability to listen to the unspoken needs of the client, as well as respect the client's personal limitations and integrity. I recommend her soft, yet strong and supportive sessions.
After years of anxiety and PMDD, where I felt I've told my adversity story so many times to so many professionals. In a relatively short time, my anxiety symptoms were gone. My PMDD symptoms were so much better. But really, more than anything, I found safety within. And I feel much more capable and present. So grateful!
