Hi! I'm Danielle, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm glad you're here. I help people who struggle with a strong inner critic, people-pleasing, and intense emotions feel more grounded, self-compassionate, and empowered in their voice. I believe there is a reason for the ways we think, feel, and behave. Many of these patterns began as ways of coping or protecting ourselves—often shaped by how our nervous system learned to respond to stress, expectations, and relationships. My style is warm, genuine, and validating. I strive to create a space where you feel emotionally safe, understood, and not judged, so you can let your guard down and be yourself. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in cycles of self-criticism, overthinking, or difficulty prioritizing their own needs, even when they logically know what they want to change. When that happens, we slow things down and pay attention to what’s happening inside—how your body is responding, what feels activated or shut down, and what might need more safety or support in the moment. I like to work in an experiential and relational way, noticing what shows up in the body, what happens between us in the room, and what deeper emotional patterns may be operating outside of awareness. I integrate approaches like EMDR, parts-informed work, and somatic strategies to support change at a deeper level, so healing is felt and sustained. My hope is that therapy helps you feel more attuned to yourself, more grounded, and more able to speak from a place of self-compassion—so you can find your voice and move through life with greater ease and authenticity. Modalities May Include: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Therapy, Somatic and Body-Based Strategies, Attachment-Based Therapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Approaches
