Life & relationship coach, Lafayette, CA

Her story & approach

For more than 15 years, Dana has worked with individuals, couples, and families to create meaningful change in their lives and relationships.

Dana earned her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with honors from Hofstra University and began her career training as a therapist in residential treatment centers, intensive outpatient programs, and private group practices throughout California. Her clinical training gave her a strong foundation in human behavior, emotional health, relationships, and the patterns that shape how people experience their lives.

As Dana’s life and work evolved, she found that coaching offered a framework that aligned closely with both her strengths and the way she most naturally connects with people.

As a life coach, Dana primarily works with women moving through different stages of life. From building careers and relationships to navigating motherhood, identity changes, midlife, changing family roles, and life after retirement. Dana helps women understand the patterns influencing their lives, build awareness and stay connected to themselves through periods of change. Through increasing self-knowledge and self-trust, clients are able to make intentional decisions about what comes next from a place of self-knowledge and self-respect.

In addition to individual coaching, Dana offers speaking engagements, workshops, women’s groups, educational workbooks, and online resources. Through the tools and offerings available on her website, she hopes to make self-awareness, personal growth, and relationship education more accessible to people who may not be ready for, or have access to, one-on-one coaching. Across every part of her work, Dana’s goal is to help people understand themselves more fully, strengthen the relationships that matter, and move through life with greater confidence, connection, and intention.
