About

My name is Danielle and I am dedicated to helping to promote and improve Emotional Wellness. I am here to help support and walk alongside you as you work to make changes to your life and will help guide your personal growth as we collaborate to develop your personal goals. Health for your mind is important and I want to help you find balance in areas that can be difficult to navigate to bring emotional wholeness to your life. I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and have been working in the field for over 17 years. I work with clients impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, healthy communication, stress management, grief, loss and trauma.

I draw from several different traditional therapeutic modalities and will work with you to determine the most useful interventions to use to support your growth. I will adapt my treatment approach to each individual client's needs and goals. It is important to me that you feel validated and comfortable enough to be able to participate (with me) in your journey of growth and healing. Having a safe space to work through thoughts, ideas and feelings is an important part of how to prioritize your health and happiness. I have significant experience with Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Interpersonal therapy (IPT), Humanistic therapy, Family systems, and Motivational Interviewing. I have experience working with children, adolescents to adults, either in individual, couple or family sessions.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I spend most of my time caring for and spending time with my 4 young sons. I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, yoga, and working out at the gym. I also enjoy music, good food, reading, and traveling.
