I’ll help you develop a better relationship with your body, and find a greater sense of identity and stability in life. Whether you’re struggling with an eating disorder, chronic pain, poor self-image, or difficulty accessing and dealing with your emotions - I’ll help you get more in touch with yourself and find a style of living that feels more comfortable to you. My approach is trauma-informed, so we'll pay careful attention to the ways that difficult past experiences may have closed off some options for how to think, feel, and move.

You’ve felt sad, anxious, tired, guilty, angry, frustrated, unworthy, or insecure. Despite this, you’ve pushed through, or perhaps you haven’t been able to and you’ve noticed it’s starting to get in the way of your life. Recently, things don’t seem to have gotten any better and you’ve started to dread people, places, and things. I’ve seen what anxiety, depression, grief, and unresolved trauma can do to a person when they don’t have or seek support.

This practice serves patients who were sexually and physically abused as children and suffering with overwhelming stress and the inability to get unstuck in their current life functioning.

I am a licensed psychologist conducting therapy and counseling. I specialize in working with adults. I have specialties in the areas of grief, traumas, depression and anxiety however have seen clients for a variety of issues. My primary approach to therapy is based on an insight-oriented relational model to treatment however, I supplement my work with Somatic Experiencing, a trauma treatment informed by the mind and body connection. My clinical work is informed by the understanding that a therapeutic relationship can help restructure one's internal emotional world and cognitive functioning, which is supported by attachment and neuropsychology research.

Hi, I am Danielle. Fun Facts: I am an only child, kind of. I come from an eclectic and blended family and understand the chaos and beauty that love can bring. I have personal experiences with chronic illness since a young age and can totally understand the phenomenon of people thinking "you don't look sick," when you definitely are. I am a huge animal lover, having experienced the joys and the pain that come with the loss of a furry friend. With all of my own experiences, I feel so honored and privileged that I have a job where I get to walk alongside others while journey through their ups and downs of this weird little life we get.

If you are experiencing struggles with managing day to day stressors and keeping up with life expectations, you would benefit from addressing your personal challenges through therapy. You may not understand why you’re feeling a specific way or you continuously have memories, which you’d rather not have or perhaps find yourself having intrusive thoughts. If you have found these things to be an issue for you, I can support you in finding peace of mind.

Looks like you have reached the tipping point! Whatever has you searching for help, you're already creating change simply by being here. Sometimes all you need is to learn and practice more effective ways of communicating. Sometimes it's an issue of healing from catastrophic wounds, but it's often a complex and intricate combination of things. Regardless of the reason(s), you wouldn't be searching if you didn't already know you may benefit from personal therapy. I firmly believe that most human suffering is learned, and anything that has been learned can be unlearned with the right support.

Sometimes it doesn't simply "go away". Sometimes you physically feel it in your body, you notice it in the way you carry yourself, you question why something that once had no emotional charge for you, bothers you down to your core today. Are you struggling with managing difficult emotions? Maybe unhelpful thoughts consume your day to day life. I have success working with individuals ranging from teen to the aging population, in areas including but not limited to anxiety and depression management, posttraumatic stress, self esteem issues, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions.

I have been working with clients for over 20 years, helping people learn healthier ways to cope with trauma, resolve grief, and improve the quality of their relationships with others and with themselves. For many people, unhealed wounds manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I work with my clients to identify the unresolved issues that keep them "stuck" and repeating the same destructive patterns of behavior. I also like to focus on practical skill building in your specific areas of need, whether it's communication, self-esteem, anger management, assertiveness training, or boundary setting.

After stressful or traumatic experiences, you may wonder if you will ever feel the same again. You may feel anxious and overwhelmed by strong emotions, or numb and detached. You might feel unsafe, and notice that it is difficult to trust others. You may feel as though you have to pretend to be someone else to interact with the world. You might feel confused about who you are and where your life is headed. At times you may yearn to feel better, but you’re also uncertain about what healing might look like, and question whether it is even possible for you. I strongly believe that it is possible, and I'm here to help.

I know that it can be hard sometimes to ask for help. Are you feeling the pressure to be everything to everyone, and no one is there when you need them? Do you have feelings of not being enough, and hearing that inner critic remind you of your past? Are you tired of giving so much to everyone else and beginning to feel resentful that you are not receiving anything back? Are you feeling unappreciated, underestimated, unworthy, or unbalanced? Taking the first steps on the road to heal can be scary, I am here to support, encourage & empower you. To support you as you release the anger, release the stress and release the love.

Are you or a family member struggling to cope with the challenges of having a chronic illness? Do you worry about other's perception of you? Do you struggle to stay motivated or remain hopeful? As a family member, Are your efforts to offer support and communicate concerns misunderstood? Living with a chronic illness– or caring for someone who does – can feel overwhelming at times. Anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and low self-esteem are commonly shared experiences. If you can relate, then this is the place for you! I’ll help you highlight your personal strengths and empower you to achieve the best version of yourself.

Whether you desire to break free from unhealthy or destructive beliefs systems or habits, a traumatic past, anxiety, depression, challenging relationships, unhealthy work environments, or any other human problem...the change, growth and understanding you desire is possible. As a therapist with much experience in working with individuals, couples and families I can help you on your journey to creating the self, relationship, or family you've so desperately longed to have. The truth is that change takes work and guided structure to get it right. It takes being courageous enough to admit you've thought about this for far too long.

Please note: I offer video and phone sessions. I am a generalist and trained to work with a variety of presenting issues. Many of my clients report that through our work together, they are able to become more assertive, confident, calm, productive, and satisfied in the important areas of their lives.
