Dayna founded Specialized Counseling Services with the goal of offering specialized therapy to meet the unique and specific needs of clients seeking to address trauma, addiction, and eating disorders as well as first responders/law enforcement professionals. Dayna is dedicated and passionate about supporting clients to meet their goals and live life with more balance and capacity. She has had the opportunity to provide treatment in various settings including Outpatient Programs, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Crisis Intervention, and Inpatient Hospitalization. 

Dayna will tailor her approach to your specific individual needs and preferences. She utilizes evidence-based and action-oriented therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dayna is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) which is an approach that works with the nervous system to help resolve symptoms and dysregulation from trauma. She has also trained in Inner Relationship Focusing which is a mind-body process and a form of “parts” work that assists clients in creating greater connection to self, resolution of inner conflicts, and increased feelings of confidence and clarity.

Working with Dayna can help you gain skills to manage your challenges, increase self-awareness and self-acceptance, as well as improve your day-to-day functioning which can reduce distress and strengthen relationships. She has an approach that is active, caring, and direct. You can expect her full attention, compassion, and non-judgment as you begin self exploration and change. She will work to meet you where you are while also providing feedback to help you gain clarity and regain balance.
