Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Dr. Dani...and I’ll be honest with you from the start: I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can finally exhale. With over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, my background spans crisis intervention, family systems, and culturally responsive care.

I have a particular heart for women and couples who are carrying a lot... navigating stress, relationships, and life transitions...and doing it often without anyone really seeing them.

That changes here.
