I am licensed in New York, Florida, and Michigan with over 25 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach with individuals of all ages. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting stress, and career challenges. I have also helped many people who have experienced family and generational trauma as well as grief and loss.
My counseling style is warm, reflective, and encouraging. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, and openness. I believe everyone is doing the best they can. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, rational-emotive, dialectical behavior therapy with a blend of mindfulness, energy psychology (tapping and EFT), and psycho-education. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to step forward and seek help for a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I LOVE Danielle, forever so grateful
Written on Feb 02, 2023 after therapy with Danielle for 2 years on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and self esteem
Danielle is absolutely incredible. From the very beginning of our sessions, she offered endless kindness, warmth and understanding, providing an environment where I felt comfortable to fully open up.
By showing me how it felt to be validated, she taught me to give myself the validation I needed. Our sessions allowed me to gain confidence in who I am and I am now ready and willing to live my life for me, with gratitude, compassion and a very full heart.
Thank you for everything, Danielle! It’s been so great working with you

Danielle is an incredible therapist, very caring and comforting and has helped me implement useful ways of adjusting my thinking. She is such a lovely person and has been a great help to me through challenging times. I couldn’t recommend her more.

I’ve been working with Danielle for close to a year now. I am so grateful I have found her on this platform. She has been a huge support in my life and has been the one therapist I’ve been able to connect with. She’s so helpful, friendly, and understanding. Highly recommend working with Danielle.
Written on Jun 27, 2022 after therapy with Danielle for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
I have worked with Danielle for a few months this year, and a few months in 2021. Each time I sign up, I am grateful to see that she is still my therapist. She is wise and understanding, and always hears me. She has helped me work through childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, and anxiety/depression. Having a calm, positive demeaner, she has been supportive of my journey and offers wise advice with new perspectives.
Written on Apr 04, 2022 after therapy with Danielle for 1 year and 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue
It was extremely difficult for me to even sign up for therapy but Danielle made the process so comforting and transformative, I couldn't have imagined how much I would gain from working with her. She always listens fully and responds thoughtfully, she really has made a huge difference in my healing journey. She pays attention to the exercises/strategies that seem to work best for me and if we try something I don't respond well to, she makes an effort to try something different which I really appreciate. Every session with her is helpful and I would recommend her to anyone!

With calm, and seemingly limitless empathy and compassion, Danielle turned my deeply rooted skepticism about therapy and counseling upside down. After a few months of therapy with her, I truly believe that almost anyone can greatly benefit from it. She offers the key to understand traumas and tools to overcome them. The level of support she provides throughout those painful journeys is simply amazing.

Danielle has exhibited a listening, caring, professional, helpful style. She can introduce new thoughts & steps to take while being affirming at the same time. I think others will be helped.

Danielle is extremely professional and a great listener! I believe that she understands that each client has different needs and she’s able to meet each person where they are in this journey called life. She’s compassionate and a beckon of light in the mental health community!
Written on Sep 24, 2021 after therapy with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coaching
I have been in therapy on and off my entire life so when it comes to therapist, it has been difficult to find the "good ones." Danielle, is one of the "good ones." From our first session, she helped me to feel safe and seen as a human being. She knows her stuff for sure, I could tell right away. She immediately added new techniques and strategies that have had a positive impact on my quality of life. This experience has been more than I imagined and I am excited to see how it continues.

Absolutely amazing counselor!
Written on Jul 08, 2021 after therapy with Danielle for 6 months on issues concerning depression, addictions, self esteem, and adhd
Danielle is incredibly kind and caring, generous with her time, and helped me through the horror of last year. She’s attentive and remembers what we talk about (or what I do, as I’m too chatty) checks up on me during difficult weeks and sends me encouragement with her thoughts and helpful links. I look forward to talking with her as she helps me through a health issue that arose last year.
Written on Jun 03, 2021 after therapy with Danielle for 1 year on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, compassion fatigue, and adhd
I have been working with Danielle for many months and she has helped me through everything. From break up to everyday stress to childhood trauma. She is warm, an attentive listener, and goes out of her way to research and share new techniques that aid our discussions. I have gained so much confidence in myself and have grown to understand my needs better than ever before!

I am so grateful for Danielle's help and support. She has been open, encouraging and kind throughout, creating a safe space from the very start. She has allowed me to see challenges and stuck thought processes from a whole new perspective, and I can safely say working with her has changed my life for the better.
Written on Mar 24, 2021 after therapy with Danielle for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and self esteem
Through emails and conversation by video, Danielle helped me talk through stress I'd been experiencing at work. Her description of my mind's fight or flight or freeze responses informed me of why my body reacted as it did to certain situations. As a result, I'm on a path to greater mental strength, which will help me in my next pursuits.
Written on Feb 21, 2021 after therapy with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, career difficulties, and coaching
Up to now Danielle and I have only communicated through "text", messaging on the better help site, and even with just reading each others paragraphs, I have felt understood by Danielle. She has already challenged some of my thoughts, I feel confident in continuing with Danielle.

Great listener.

Danielle has been brilliant.
I have never attended counselling before, and Danielle put me immediately at ease, and has supported me through addressing my initial problems with kindness and understanding.
Written on Jan 24, 2021 after therapy with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue
I am so thankful for Danielle. She is kind, patient, professional and clearly very experienced in her field. She challenges me to get to the root of a problem and helps me work from there on how to change my viewpoint, attitude and habits for the better. Thanks to Danielle, I feel so much more comfortable in my own body and feel much more stable in my relationships.
Written on Aug 29, 2020 after therapy with Danielle for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and eating disorders
Danielle has such a calming and friendly presence. She helped my husband and I so much and my husband considers our sessions a safe and comforting environment, which was no easy fit since in the beginning he had a lot of reservations about getting counseling. Danielle has strangled our marriage and is helping us learn communication tools that we can use for the rest of our lives.
Written on Aug 26, 2020 after therapy with Danielle for 2 weeks
Danielle is a very compassionate counselor. You can honestly tell that she listens to what you say and/or understand what you are trying to explain. She offers new perspectives on things and provides worksheets to help you.
