Hi, I'm Dani and I would love to work with you! My approach is strength-centered and collaborative. I can help you with understanding and managing anxiety, depression, and processing through past trauma. Together we can work on building emotional intelligence, distress tolerance, and communication skills. I'm a butch non-binary person who can empathize with those struggling to be trans in America right now. I've also got lived experience as a disabled and neurodivergent person.

Perhaps you’ve been feeling stuck in this season of life. Maybe you’re having trouble setting boundaries with friends or family. Or you might need support learning how to manage big feelings in healthy ways. Wherever you're at, I would be honored to assist you in your journey. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am passionate about providing a safe and affirming space for clients from diverse backgrounds. I also recognize the role that spirituality has for many people and am able to work with clients in a way that respects their beliefs.

Everyone deserves an enriching life full of meaning and purpose regardless of the difficulties that may come our way. My goal is to provide an affirming space for you to develop a deep understanding of yourself, explore challenges you’re facing both internally and externally, and discover healthy ways to achieve your goals. No matter where our work together takes us, you will always receive unconditional acceptance, respect, and care.

Survivor of trauma. Struggling with addiction. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to manage on your own?

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in Los Angeles, California. I strive to create an environment of compassion, authenticity and understanding, inclusive and welcoming to all clients. In working with me, you will identify the thoughts, feelings, behaviors and beliefs that are preventing you from living joyfully. I work with you to help you discover your strengths and capabilities so that you can live a life that is meaningful, rewarding and free from conflict. I believe that therapy must be engaging, non-judgmental, and supportive to facilitate growth.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands your unique experiences as a BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ person? Do you want to work with someone who is compassionate, affirming, and culturally responsive? Are you looking for a clinician with shared lived experiences? If so, then you're in the right place. Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective is a group of licensed queer and/or BIPOC therapists who are passionate about helping people heal and thrive. We provide culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and compassionate psychotherapy and counseling.

You're a smart, sensitive soul who knows how to get shit DONE. People can count on you because you're the responsible, reliable "giver" who makes sure others' wants and needs are met. On the outside, it seems like you've got it all together. But your mind is often a maelstrom of worry and turmoil, anticipating worst-case scenarios and disaster. Your inner critic whispers (or shouts!) in your ear: "Maybe you're just not good enough...you're failing...you're a fraud." Your outer success is a double-edged sword, rewarding you with the external validation that makes you feel worthy but keeps you on the approval-seeking hamster wheel.
