An ideal client would be someone who is committed to making changes, needs support and is looking to grow as an individual and/or as a couple.

This can be valuable in this age of distraction. I also have a niche interest in getting more men to attend and benefit from therapy.

I enjoy working with individual clients who identify with anxiety, what-ifs and regrets, and feeling insecure in their relationships - either romantic or platonic. My clients are often challenged with rethinking conversations and interactions, which is utterly exhausting. They often find themselves fantasizing about the past when they felt less shame and regret – a time that felt lighter, filled with more joy and presence, and waking up feeling rested and ready for the day. It’s possible to return to those days. My clients often start therapy feeling frustrated, defeated and exhausted and leave sessions with clarity and hope.

I work with capable, high-functioning adults who feel stuck — with alcohol use, mood shifts, or a quiet sense of dissatisfaction.
My education and experience have prepared me to address co-occurring mental illness and substance use. I am a compassionate provider who focuses on Mindful Self-Compassion (a powerful tool for emotional resilience), self-forgiveness (allowing and learning from past mistakes), and self-efficacy (creating the changes you want).

Are you the "fixer" or the "peacekeeper" who's secretly drowning in anxiety or trauma? On the outside, you have it all together and you are the one everyone leans on. But on the inside, you're exhausted from chronic worry, disrupted sleep, or using a drink or gummy to finally "turn off" your brain. That relentless inner critic whispers you are never good enough, your "fawn" response makes saying "no" feel impossible, and guilt piles up from burdens that aren't yours. These aren't just symptoms. They're the hidden costs of over-functioning for others while neglecting yourself, often rooted in trauma or Complex PTSD.

Relationships can be so stressful. Finding common ground on parenting or values/beliefs at times feels impossible. A negative spiral begins where you don’t talk as much…you shut down, you yell, or maybe you just give up and walk away. You might begin to feel anxious or depressed and don’t know what else you can do to make this better for you and your family. Learning to communicate effectively and finding balance in your relationship can take work. I can help you and/or your partner learn how to improve communication, balance home/work responsibilities, and strengthen parenting strategies.

**Telehealth Available** I have often hoped that counseling could be viewed as routine as oil changes or perhaps, more pleasant: lunch. The truth is that counseling is often utilized during crises or when things feel “too much.” Maybe your experiences have led to challenges in your relationships, leaning on numbing agents to cope, having thoughts that are not typical for you, avoiding things in your life. Maybe old wounds are resurfacing or you're grieving something huge. You might not even know why you're reaching out. Anything is acceptable here. All I require from you is curiosity.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression? Struggling with stress or restless sleep? Questioning your relationship with alcohol or other habits? Facing a tough decision or major life transition?
There are seasons when life feels especially heavy. We can feel stuck, stressed, confused, hurt, or alone. You might feel disconnected, unsure of yourself, or exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Perhaps worry or sadness lingers, or you’re noticing patterns that no longer serve you. You may sense something needs to change, yet feel unsure where to begin.

Hi :) I'm Danielle!
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, like it’s hard to manage emotions or keep up with life’s demands. Maybe stress feels heavy, emotions feel big, or changes feel hard to navigate. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, substance use, eating or body image concerns, burnout, life transitions, or navigating neurodivergent symptoms and experiences. Teens, young adults, neurodivergent individuals, and parents seeking support for a child may be looking for a therapist who is caring, approachable, and truly invested in helping you grow and feel understood.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
