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, done 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.

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.

Limited openings, please e-mail for availability. After 15 years working with community-based agencies in multiple roles as well as about 20 years working with vulnerable youth, I am happily dedicated to private practice care. My practice is centered around whole-person treatment. Together, we will explore root causes to your symptoms, the narrative of your family system, process old trauma and develop healthy coping skills to manage your symptoms. Trauma, OCD, ADHD, Generalized Anxiety and Codependency Treatment, are my primary specialties. I look forward to learning about and helping you identify your unique goals for therapy.

Hello, I'm Frank Trapani, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Congratulations on initiating this important step towards your personal growth and wellness.
