Personal
Dana grew up in a Christian home and committed herself to a personal relationship with Christ while in college. She moved to Atlanta in 2004 to be a part of a new church that is now a thriving Christian community. Dana and her husband, Gabriel, who is also a counselor, were married in 2006. In her free time, Dana enjoys reading, walking, and spending time with friends and family.
Vision
Dana believes that no one is more important than parents in the lives of struggling children and adolescents, and she often integrates supportive family therapy into a child or adolescent's counseling. Dana is convinced that every child, adolescent, and adult is created for a unique and valuable purpose. She strives to help people enter more fully into the abundant life God has intended for them.
