Learning to love, tend, and support our bodies in a society that often devalues the experiences of the body is hard. If you are someone who has experienced trauma and/or is struggling with either chronic pain, fatigue, overwhelm, burnout, low self-esteem, struggles with your sense of self, boundaries, and/or even knowing what your needs are, you’re not alone. Do you want to learn how to better support your nervous system? To feel and communicate your boundaries and needs with those around you for stronger and more fulfilling connections? Do you hope to feel more joy, confidence, and ease in your day-to-day life? Welcome!
My work is deeply rooted in transformative justice, liberation psychology, neurobiology, expressive art practices, and trauma-informed care. In my sessions I work authentically and relationally so that we may honor your pacing, embrace non-linearity, and unearth your unique and resilient inner wisdom.
I welcome all of you into this co-creative space where we can get curious, express, release, play, integrate, and reclaim the narratives of you body. My clients describe me as a playful, creative, directive, and compassionate therapist who also keeps it real. I look forward to meeting you and learning how to best support you in your goals and needs.

I consulted with Dani for over a year and found her to be such an authentic presence, as well as skilled somatic therapist. Dani helps client's feel more embodied and create positive identities when neurodivergence and creativity are deeply felt as flaws.
