Everyone struggles with their feelings, relationships, expectations and happiness at times in their life. Are you feeling conflicted, confused or angry? By recognizing behavioral patterns and learning how to change these, you can find more happiness in your life and relationships. With over twenty five years of experience, I have an understanding and knowledge about family issues and relationships.

Change is the only constant in life: we live in a complex, busy, and changing world that presents a variety of challenges, as well as opportunities, in our everyday lives. Our biological and psychological makeup, as well as our spiritual, cultural, social, and family backgrounds and support systems, have a lot to do with the ways we deal with these challenges.

Is life leading you or your loved ones to feel stressed out, overwhelmed and unhappy? Are relationships, family life, school or work life unfulfilling? Are you experiencing anxiety, worry and sadness or having difficulty staying focused and motivated? Is chronic pain interfering with your quality of life? If you or your loved ones are experiencing difficulties that are interfering with true happiness, I can help! I have over 30 years of experience helping people sort through seemingly insurmountable problems and arrive at solutions in a compassionate, non-judgmental way! Life CAN be better than this!

I specialize in working with teens and adults with eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, and general disordered eating). I offer both assessment (helping you figure out if you or your loved has an issue with food) and treatment (helping you or your loved one get well) I offer both individual and family sessions. More simply said, my goal is to empower clients to live life on their terms, not an eating disorder’s terms.

I strive to create a warm and affirming space to support clients in navigating life’s challenges, as well as in exploring their own values, strengths, and wants in therapy. I draw on person-centered and trauma-informed practices as I collaborate with clients to understand and address their unique needs. I believe that therapy can provide us with the space, time, and tools to live an intentional life that honors our values and goals.

How we operate in the world, what we are fearful of, and what we hold close, has to do with how we understand and connect to each other in our relationships—including the relationship with ourselves.

Hi! My name is Danielle. Reaching out for support exhibits strength and resilience. Through difficult situations, supporting individuals facing mental health challenges has always been a passion of mine. I would describe my therapeutic approach as anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and family family-focused.

It is wonderful that you decided to begin the process of finding a therapist. I think that it is vital that you find someone that is a good fit for you. It is important to create an environment that is free of judgment so that you can feel safe expressing yourself. The way we form our identity is complex, many roles play a factor including our environment, family history, current relationships, and lifestyle. Through the journey of life, events both positive and painful help to mold us. The path of healing and exploration into yourself can lead to a stronger, happier, healthier you.

It's hard being a person. We all struggle to some extent in fundamental areas of human life-- relationships, identity, work, destructive behaviors, the meaning of life itself. Satisfying marriage/committed relationships are a specific challenge faced by many. I work in both individual and couples therapy. There are many ways to approach human problems, including: how family of origin influences personality; one's relationship to one's thoughts and feelings; self-defeating beliefs, both conscious and unconscious; self-defeating behavior. I value thoughtfulness and compassion, working together, and recognizing your goals and ideas.

I enjoy working with clients that are motivated for change. We address the need for action behind the intention for change. I have 30 years of experience in counseling adults and teenagers challenged with depression, anxiety, grief and loss. I am trained in Trauma therapy with a Certification in EMDR therapy. Recently, trained in EMDR 2.0. I work with individuals that struggle with past experiences that shape negative beliefs about themselves and through EMDR therapy they can shift to a positive belief about themselves to have a better quality of life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working in diverse mental health settings including private practice. My experience includes working with diverse age groups including adolescents, college-age and adult populations. I have worked extensively with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with school-based behavioral and academic problems. My work has included working with adolescents and young adults who are on the spectrum, gifted students, those who struggle socially and academically, and students who have experienced trauma or upheaval in their family.

Is something out of balance in your life? With yourself? Your child? Your effectiveness as a parent? Your relationships? Life circumstances/transitions? If it is, please know that my way of practicing is to non-judgmentally understand what is going on--what area of your life is being negatively impacted. Then we can collaboratively work on establishing goals and a treatment plan. Whether it is Anxiety, OCD, Autism (including very young kids with autism), Depression/Bipolar, Behavior Problems, ADHD, Trauma or Insomnia, there is a way for you or your child to feel more in control, grounded and balanced.

Whether you are struggling with a life transition, family or romantic relationship issue or overwhelmed with stress from work or school, I want you to know that I will do my best to hold a safe and judgment-free space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will help you look deeper into yourself on your journey of positive change, personal growth, and self-improvement. Let’s work together to figure out why you are not as happy as you would like to be and work towards living up to your full potential, for yourself, and the people in your life.

I help struggling couples get back on track and help newly engaged/wed couples set up for success. You do not have to go through this alone. Most couples experience times of disconnection, difficulty communicating, confusion around compatability and wondering how to "press the reset button" to enjoy a happier, healthier relationship!

It is my privilege and pleasure to work with adults in navigating life's challenges. Changes in relationships, family status, income, job status, children at home, health and more, create special challenges. It can really help to speak with a sympathetic, caring counselor who has been through it all. I specialize in helping clients work through empty nest transitions.

My practice is currently full and I am unable to take new clients at this time. I have 20+ years working with adolescents, individuals, and couples on a variety of issues. I have experience working with Substance Abuse, Depression, Anxiety and with Trauma. My approach is strengths-based, non-judgemental, and practical. I have been trained in Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Internal Family Systems, Trauma, Substance Abuse and Psychodynamic Treatment. Fundamentally, I believe it is most important to listen deeply to people and help them define both their own issues as well as their own solutions.

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle over and over no matter how hard you try to break away? These type of patterns can often make it feel impossible to stay connected, be at peace, and thrive. I want you to know there is hope. Together we can explore how past patterns and trauma affect the present while building on your strengths to manifest a feeling of inner strength and freedom. I value creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients of LGBTQ+ identities, kink/sex-positive practices, and polyamorous relationships are safe and welcomed.
