Anxiety feels awful. Your chest gets tight. You can’t concentrate. Sleep is rough. Worst-case scenarios loop in your head. A panic attack feels right around the corner. And it seems like if you slow down and feel what’s happening inside, you’ll get too overwhelmed to function. So you keep busy, trying to manage it all. But it’s not sustainable. The longer this goes on without getting support, the more your world organizes itself around the anxiety, and the more frazzled your nervous system becomes. Now it’s affecting your relationships, your work, your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to actually enjoy your life.

Hi! My name is Dani, and I work with individuals and couples who are repairing, growing, or perhaps thoughtfully ending a relationship—whether with a partner or within themselves. My approach is based in exploring what first connected you to someone or to a version of yourself: what clicked, what sustained you, and what you aim to see happen now. Starting with these origins often helps clarify both strengths and challenges.

As humans, it is natural to experience periods of intense difficulty, particularly when feeling overwhelmed by competing demands or relationship patterns that are no longer effective. Therapy can be a resource to help navigate healthy and authentic relationships, restore life balance, calm anxious thoughts, and regain overall wellbeing. I believe that we teach others how to treat us, and that setting effective and graceful boundaries is an attainable goal. When emotions become overpowering, our tendency is to avoid them, yet they provide important information that can be used to inform and move toward the life you want to live.

I work from a relational, depth-oriented framework informed by attachment, family systems, psychodynamic, and Imago approaches.
My clients are adults who can feel that something beneath the surface is running their life: a pattern of mood, a pull toward substances, or a relationship dynamic that keeps repeating no matter how hard they try to change it. They are self-aware enough to know something is off, but close enough to it that they cannot quite see it clearly. I work with them to slow things down, name what has been operating out of sight, and begin making more conscious choices about how they want to live and love. Currently seeing new clients in NV and CA via telehealth.

Step into a healing space where laughter is welcome. As a professional and a family man, I know how crazy life can get. Juggling work, family, and the kitchen sink is no joke. I've been there, still doing that, and got the t-shirt to prove it! Let's not even start on the childhood baggage we all cart around like old luggage. Whether you're side-eyeing therapy or feeling stuck in a rut, I've got your back with compassionate support and a dash of humor. Together, we'll unpack those heavy bags, set some goals, and take a transformative journey toward inner peace.

With couples I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy.
At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

I’m really glad you found your way here. Many people I work with are capable, values-driven, and deeply committed to doing a good job in every role they hold. You may be raising children, supporting aging parents, leading at work, serving your community, or all of the above. Your days are full, your mind rarely rests, and your to-do list never seems finished. At night, it’s hard to turn things off because there is always something else to manage, plan, or prepare for, feeling tired in a way that rest does not easily fix. Many of my clients carry a strong sense of responsibility and a belief that they should be able to do it all.

Feeling stuck in worry, self-doubt, or a big life decision? I help people overcome anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and past trauma so they can create a calmer, more confident life. Hi there, I’m Lisa! A few years back I sold almost everything I owned, closed my in-person office, and started traveling full-time, despite the “what-ifs.” It was scary, terrifying... and the best decision I’ve ever made! That experience showed me how powerful it is to face your fear and create the life you love. I now help clients do the same kind of inner work: releasing constant worry, healing from trauma, and moving through life changes.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: You are one of a kind. There has never been anyone like you and never will be again. Therapy is a place where you have the opportunity to know yourself in a deep and intimate way. The journey towards wholeness begins with embracing (and discovering) our many and often rejected parts that comprise our authentic self. Wounds, triggers and defenses exist for a reason and represent the internal maps that lead to healing. COUPLES THERAPY: Relationships are the path to knowing who we are and I believe that what needs to be healed presents itself through the struggles and dynamics that get activated in partnership.
