Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Workers with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns spanning from life adjustments, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self- esteem and grief and loss. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who have a mood disorder or trauma history.
I believe that the therapuetic relationship is one of the key ingredients to success, growth and change. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I provide a warm, supportive and welcoming space that is free from judgement or rejection. I am often told that I am easy to talk with.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. My clinical approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused and motivational interviewing techniques. All interventions are tailored to each individual to ensure that your needs are being met.
The first steps towards change are always the most difficult and I applaud you for taking those steps. I am here to support and empower you on your journey.
I look forward to working with you!

Danica has been really helpful in helping me realize that therapy does take time and I am progressing in a positive direction with her help.

Danica is incredibly nice and always shows care when we talk. It was obvious from the beginning that she was going to be there for me and that she truly cared about what problems I have and experience. I highly recommend her as she is such a caring and thoughtful person and a therapist that I am happy to work with on my journey to wellness.
