Dana has her Bachelor’s in Psychology from James Madison University and her Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has her licensure in Clinical Social Work and has been a practicing psychotherapist for the last 13 years. Prior to that she was home raising her two daughters. During that time she volunteered teaching English as a second language to native Spanish speakers. She also volunteered teaching Spanish at a Montessori school and directed a project to fund and build a five senses garden at a local elementary school.
Dana has spent the last 13 years providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. She has specialized over the years in resilience and growth following traumatic events. Dana has also used journaling and mindfulness as modalities. Women’s empowerment has been at the forefront of her practice given the unique challenges they face.
Dana began hiking and trail running 6 years ago. She found this time to be healing and therapeutic. Dana now endeavors to provide opportunities for growth and healing in nature.
Dana and Mary have combined their efforts and passion to provide women’s empowerment programs in nature through hiking, camping, backpacking and retreats.
