MY MISSION

Welcome! I’m Donnie - therapist, human, and someone who knows how heavy it can feel to carry the weight of other people’s expectations.

If you’re here, you might be tired of battling your reflection, feeling anxious under constant pressure, questioning your worth in relationships, or wondering why “good enough” never feels like enough.

I believe we all deserve a world where worth isn’t measured by a number on a scale, a flawless performance, or how well we meet someone else’s standard.

My passion is helping you unlearn the toxic scripts handed down by media, diet culture, and even family patterns - and to build space for your authentic, imperfect, fully human self.

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about remembering you were never broken.

If you’re ready to release the pressure and build a kinder relationship with yourself and others, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

More about me

Who I Work With

Millennials & Gen Z who are navigating the pressure cooker of today’s world.

From society’s endless expectations to the comparison trap of social media, it’s easy to feel like you’re always behind or never enough.

Therapy is a space where we can untangle all of that and help you feel more grounded, confident, and true to yourself.

What I Treat

“Donnie is an incredible therapist; full of empathy and warmth; she makes you feel right at home. Through her relational approach, she supports clients in healing body image, finding inner confidence, and improving the most important relationship - the one with themself. I highly recommend Donnie for young adults who are ready to start therapy!”
