THERAPY ROOTED IN THE SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY AND INDIGENOUS VALUES
YOU KNOW THIS FEELING
What burnout actually feels like
The alarm goes off, and you're already tired. Coffee stops working by 10am.
You snap at people you love, then feel guilty for hours after. Work that used
to feed you, now drains you. You're left with the Sunday scaries, irritability, and racing thoughts.
“
Burnout doesn't always look like a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like showing up everyday, but feeling like you don't have anything to give.
HOW THERAPY HELPS
We name what's actually happening, then build from there.
We start by naming what's depleting you, and what's been asked of you for too long. Burnout responds well to structure: concrete tools for setting boundaries, regulating your nervous system, and rebuilding energy without waiting for a full collapse first. For Indigenous people, burnout often carries extra weight of generations of being told to be resilient, to push through, and not to ask for help.
MEET YOUR THERAPIST
I''m not your typical therapist.
She:kon. Hi, I'm Dr. Dana.
Although I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, my approach to therapy is anything but clinical. My approach is casual and comfortable.
I've been a psychologist for 17 years and because I grew up on the rez I believe culture is an essential part of the therapy process. As Indigenous people, we have very unique social, political, and historical factors that impact our mental health.
There's no notebook on how to keep your mind from running in overdrive or how to get rid of that feeling of dread in your chest,
I'm here to help!
To help you with the racing thoughts, the sleepless nights, and the feeling of exhaustion.
WHO I WORK WITH
