Current openings. Do you feel stuck in your relationships, career, or dysfunctional patterns? This isn't where you thought you'd be at age 25, 30, or 40. The anxiety and constant second-guessing yourself is exhausting. You feel like you are always "the helper" in relationships, but deep down, you feel unseen and resentful that your needs don't feel acknowledged by others. Even your spirituality has felt stale lately, leaving you drained. You need help navigating through the anxiety and negativity. Imagine having a deep sense of peace and joy with who you are right now and your process of becoming.

Change comes through relationship and at Northwest Counsel I desire for you to see real, positive change in your life and your personal relationships. To give you an idea of what to expect, your first appointment is your chance to explain special circumstances and ask any questions about therapy. You will get a feel for who I am and how I can serve you, and together we can determine if I will help guide you to the next step on your journey of wellness. Sessions typically last 45-55 minutes and are custom tailored to your situation and your needs.

I provide a supportive environment for individuals and couples to practice skills designed to enhance personal, relational, and professional satisfaction. My office is a safe confidential place to process life. I help individuals manage mental health and reduce need for prescriptions by incorporating research based practices. Learning tools to reduce anxiety, depression and PTSD due to trauma. Additionally, I am familiar with the challenges of military families and first responders. The unique cultural challenges of these groups and how therapy can help normalize and reduce mental distress for families and individuals.

I strive to create an environment that encourages growth and healing. Issues such as anxiety, depression, grief/ loss, abuse, trauma, domestic violence, anger, relationship and identity crisis leave one feeling depressed and alone. Working closely with individuals, couples, and families, together we will face life's struggles. My experience as a family therapist has provided me with extensive opportunity to work with families and children in the foster care system, or those families at risk of children being removed from the home. Additionally, working as a mental health professional in hospital emergency rooms has provided hands on crisis intervention with individuals facing extreme emotional situations.

Women seeking healthier relationships are my specialty. Even now, if you are deciding to change how you exist in this world you are already in transformation. Transformation comes through making choices that are conscious, consistent & compassionate and through dis-internalizing systems that are set up to repress and minimize your preciousness. The more we do this, the more we can give & receive love, find our fellow travelers (because we aren't meant to do this alone!) and create safe spaces in otherwise stormy places. With hearts open, and wisdom engaged, change becomes beautifully inevitable.

I work from the belief that everyone has the inner capacity for healing ignited through self discovery and community. My role as a therapist is to facilitate healing and support your journey in homecoming to your essential self and your tribe/community of trust/sagna. I am committed to the work of de-stigmatization and decolonization of mental health that advocates for collective healing practices grounded in liberation, culture, and spirituality . In therapy, I use a holistic approach that includes Relational Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Nutritional Mental Health, Trauma Focused CBT, Trauma Focused Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness.

My therapeutic philosophy rests on the premise that entering into a therapy relationship is a sacred act, and should be treated accordingly. It takes courage to challenge the limiting beliefs accumulated along life's journey, and I hold deep respect for those who are willing to do so. I provide a safe and respectful environment where you can explore the patterns keeping you from living a more authentic life.

You can heal by recognizing how important your thoughts and feelings are in navigating this world. We often use our minds to solve everything and sometimes we "solve" ourselves into trouble. We become fragmented when we problem solve without taking the time to tend to our whole self. Use all of you to integrate what has been fragmented by trauma, be it divorce, depression, anxiety, family issues, grief, etc. Access your thoughts, feelings, and spirituality to help you become more authentically yourself, allowing you to use your strengths and create more peace in your life.

Remember the saying," Two heads are better than one?" I believe counseling should be collaborative. Both counselor and client bring knowledge and experience to the table. Together we can go over what strategies have not worked and implement new ones. Many life problems are complex, having biological, psychological, and/or social factors, but all are spiritually implicated in some way. My Christ-centered approach emphasizes Biblical renewing of the mind and spiritual growth, in addition to practical, proven strategies to help you overcome. I will support and care for you, strive to restore hope, and walk with you on your journey!

I work alongside individuals, couples, and groups who are seeking to address experiences of grief, depression, anxiety, relational conflict, racial trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, spiritual abuse, PTSD, and COVID related issues. Together we will explore the ways that therapy can assist you towards achieving your personal goals for wellbeing. Healing and transformation is a lifestyle and we all require assistance in cultivating a life that will help us navigate unavoidable difficulties. Isolation works against these efforts which is why seeking therapy is truly one of the best things you can offer yourself.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals and couples, especially those who identify as Black, Indigenous, POC or apart of the LGBTQ+ community, to access their innate healing power, reclaim ancestral knowledge, and achieve their vision of wellness. I practice with the beliefs that everyone is the expert of their own story, and have the power to heal themselves under the right circumstances. I provide support to those ready to process and work through past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, spirituality , identity struggles, multicultural experiences.

Hello! I'm Danielle, and I'm passionate about helping people work through difficult times in their lives. My practice is centered around the belief that everyone already has what they need inside themselves to heal. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, warm, authentic, and supportive. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, disordered eating, ADHD, and mood. If you struggle with one or more of these issues, I might just be the right therapist for you! I’m currently taking new clients for Telehealth therapy in Washington State.
