Focusing on goals helps highlight not only your vision for the relationship but also challenges for that vision.
Hi! I'm Dani, and I see couples. Whether you are doing the work of repairing, growing, or separating, couples counseling is a path to mutual understanding. For couples who would like to stay together, it’s worth reflecting on what brought you together in the first place. Things like how you met, what clicked, and why you stayed can inform what makes you hang in there now. I find that’s a nice place to start if you’re keeping the bond, sometimes even if you’re not. Wherever you are at in your dynamic, we’ll go into what you would like to see happen here.

I help couples find new pathways of connection and trust through my knowledge in contemporary relational psychoanalysis, Aedp, and Brainspotting.
Existing can be difficult. Tolerating the pressures of personal and societal histories can leave you feeling stuck; add figuring out meaning and purpose of life, and things get overwhelming. Using a straightforward, interactive style (with plenty of humor) I will assist you in bringing a new understanding to issues from the past that limit and color the present. I create a collaborative space where we make sense of all the unknowns of life; whether you are looking to heal shame, trauma, or heal anxiety or grief, I will help you can make the changes necessary to make living a bit easier and move through life with more grace.

Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer the support you need in a safe and non-judgmental manner. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging the adoption of new perspectives and reactions.

By expressing feelings openly and connecting authentically we learn to resolve family and relationship issues naturally.
I believe that we all have an innate healing power within us, and that developing a safe and caring relationship with a therapist can be a wonderful means toward enlivening this power. By going within, we can discover the agency to overcome any obstacle and can bring into being a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and a life of fulfillment. I come from a holistic, humanistic, and mindfulness/spiritually-oriented tradition who believe that a therapist is only as skilled as they are evolved, or self-actualized themselves. I specialize in trauma, dissociation, & complex post traumatic stress disorder.

I work with adults, adolescents and couples with varying challenges including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, parenting issues, and sexuality issues.
You may have asked yourself, "Why do I keep making the same mistakes again and again?" By looking at both your present state and personal history, we can find out together. We will work to bring the unconscious into the conscious mind to help you get out of your own way, and get the things that you want and deserve. I will support you through that journey in a safe environment. I can help you find your own voice and learn to use it.

I completed a two year training at UCLA which resulted in becoming certified by the American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists (AACAST) as a Couples and Sex Therapist.
Choosing a therapist is no easy task, and with couples therapy it is essential to work with someone trained extensively in the work. Relationships are the core of society and our lives, and yet we are never taught about the basics of communication. Beyond that, I work on what keeps couples from applying the skills. I'm am an active therapist willing to gently challenge problematic thinking and behaviors. My work centers on learning how to talk about and listen to feelings in order to build empathy and connection. Learn what works and how to get closer to those you care about (including yourself!).

While I have broad experience working with persons from diverse backgrounds and experiences, my areas of specialty are: * Trauma-informed therapy * Individual/ couples/poly with relationship difficulties * Sexuality and sexual dysfunction * LGBTQ+ struggles * Discrimination at work or in personal life * Use of mindfulness and somatic therapy for anxiety, anger, and pain.
I wholeheartedly believe that you are your own expert on your life. Through therapy, my goal is to help you identify and work through the challenges and obstacles that may be standing in the way of gratifying relationships, a satisfying work life, and living the life you wish to lead. Your problems are not what define you as a person. I am interested in helping you clearly express your strengths, hopes, and values, which may have become lost amidst life's struggles. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment with warmth, respect, kindness, curiosity, and a little humor.

I am passionate about the importance of the parent-child relationship as a foundation for your child's life.
Parenting is a veritable obstacle course of questions, confusion and worry. For almost twenty years I have helped parents like you navigate these obstacles, and learn to better connect with their children. Therapy with me is like a gymnasium where we explore and wrestle with your inner conflicts and "stuck" feelings around parenting. We work as partners toward a greater understanding of yourself and your child.

With insight, support, and new strategies, therapy empowers you to take responsibility, build self-awareness, and move toward a more genuine, fulfilling life.

I am also passionate about working with couples to repair and reshape relationships into what God originally designed so that we can experience His best marital blessing.
My goal in treatment is to provide tools and help guide people into healing from any wounds that may hinder them from fully walking in the freedom. I am committed to helping people obtain a healthy thought life and lifestyle by being renewed in the mind, becoming transformed and being set free on all levels so they may further pursue life goals and maintain healthy relationships without the hindrance of emotional burdens from the past. I am a born again Christian and I love integrating faith and spirituality in the emotional healing process.

I believe that psychotherapy is a collaborative process, which occurs in a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. My work with individuals is psychodynamic and insight-oriented, based on the idea that our sense of self is organized around the primary love relationships of early life, and that "mapping" these emotional experiences allows more freedom from self defeating behaviors and promotes the development of new choices. Integration and and processing early relationships can help one move towards a more conscious life in which you accept your past and are able to move towards a future of your own making.

I work with individuals, couples and families. I work with many people in recovery and individuals who have experienced different levels of trauma ( whether it was by having difficulties in childhood or a specific recent event). Creating a safe space to uncover some of the layers that guard us from our truths is something I believe firmly in.I think our nervous systems are partners in our understanding of ourselves. Thru therapy we aim to grow a deeper self awareness and acceptance of ourselves and those around us.

My areas of expertise: trauma and couples.
We often forget that our first experience of the world is a shared one; that by nature we are relational beings. Which is why therapy can be so powerful. My job is to help you move away from the things that no longer work (perhaps never did), and toward a preferred way of being. Our process together is one of discovery & transformation, and honors both what you are and what you are becoming. You and I will collaborate to create an environment that is safe and supportive (I don't do that alone -- only you know what is safe). Through compassion & curiosity, our therapy will find new narratives and make meaning of old ones.

I work with adults, couples and families in dealing with a variety of issues such as, relationship issues, women's issues, parenting issues, mood disorders and addictions.
I believe there is a natural tendency toward growth, a desire to be more of ourselves and to enjoy the things we do. For many, that curiosity and vitality has been restricted or shut down. This may lead to feeling depressed, like nothing will change for you. Or anxious, it will only get worse. Or perhaps you sense things could be different and are frustrated, not knowing how to access that new way of being. Psychotherapy is a process through which you can understand how these feelings have come about and how to access your natural tendency toward wellness.
