If you’re reading this right now, you might be in a hard place. You want peace in your life, your home, and your relationships. You need the right tools and a safe space to help this happen. For women facing life transitions, loss, anxiety, depression, the after-effects of trauma, or a difficult relationship, it can be hard to break free from patterns or relationships no longer working for you. For parents with struggling children, it can be challenging managing your child’s melting or shutting down, fielding complaints about your child, and simply wanting to help your child when nothing seems to work—all while managing your own emotions. Dawn Lamprecht, LCSW, RPT™, works with all these issues, specializing in working with women and children.  Dawn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Play Therapist™. She meets clients where they are, helping them feel supported and heard as they work to get untangled from life's difficulties and meet their goals.
