Donna is the reason our Anger Management Program continues to be a success. She is a wonderful addition to the team.

Michelle Fryback

Donna is an outstanding therapist that takes her work with clients very seriously. She is committed to her profession in a profound way. She will walk with her clients down a path of growth and is not afraid to call a spade a spade. She balances support and nurturing along with direct challenging in a very skillful manner. I recommend Donna as an outstanding therapist.
