Danielle's overall work experience is in behavior medicine mainly addresses the health and mental health care needs of adults and children, often times involving substance abuse through a holistic approach, (or with the use of psychotropic medication when needed). I am also skilled in identifying maladaptive behaviors, which may inhibit a patient achieving optimal physical health, and implementing brief, focused interventions in decreasing or eradicating such behavior.

I work in a group practice, Individual and Family Connection, where we work with children and parents, offering them the support they need to better understand their child, or help them through a difficult time.

I assist parents in exploring the meaning behind these behaviors by taking time to reflect on the relationships, interactions, and caregiving responses to improve the overall quality of the relationship.
