Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dani! I believe therapy works best when you feel truly comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, understood, and never judged, whether you’re coming in with something deeply painful or simply feeling overwhelmed by life lately.

I work with children, teens, young adults, and parents navigating a chronic health condition, anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship stress, burnout, self-esteem challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Many of my clients are caring, thoughtful people who spend so much energy taking care of others that they rarely give themselves the same compassion.

You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You’re allowed to come in anxious, uncertain, emotional, talkative, quiet, overwhelmed... however you are is okay. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, more confident, and more connected to yourself and the life you want to build.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I’m engaged in sessions, use humor naturally when it helps, and focus on balancing emotional support with practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable. I use evidence-based approaches including ACT, CBT, behavioral activation, mindfulness, and supportive therapy, while always tailoring treatment to the individual sitting in front of me.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. The first session is about getting to know you and what’s been going on, what brought you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to change or feel differently.

We’ll talk through your background, current concerns, and strengths at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I’ll also ask some questions to better understand how to support you and begin shaping goals together.

My hope is that you leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and a little more grounded, with a clear sense of how we can move forward together.
