About Me

Welcome to BetterHelp!

People come to therapy for many reasons, including feelings of anxiety and depression. I try to do what I can to create open communication so that we can start to create goals and work on removing obstacles. I want this process to be worthwhile and something where therapy isn't seen as a bad experience. I work with warmth and non judgement to create a safe environment so that you can talk about all of your concerns and ask any questions.

My counseling style has been described as warm, blunt, and with a sense of humor. I usually ask many simple questions, because I want to help people reach their own conclusions. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also feel that it is important that people know all of their options before they make decisions.

I believe that our past has a big impact on how we act now. I specialize in trauma work, so I do often see things through the lens of how trauma may be impacting us. My approach tends to be a cognitive behavioral modality. So I tend to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques. But I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, since I see counseling as helping people help themselves.

When I'm working with someone, my ultimate goal is to give them enough tools so that I am essentially working myself out of a job!

I try to respond to messages as often as I can, which means that I am typically responding 1 to 2 times a day. Even though I do respond often, I don't have the ability to always immediately respond. This means that if you need consistent immediate assistance, a crisis call center or face to face counseling is more appropriate for you.

I have a decent availability during weekdays for live sessions. I do what I can to accommodate people, but I am willing to refer if my availability for live sessions does not work for people. I want to help people see counseling as a positive experience, even if that is with a different counselor than myself.

I am looking forward to going along this journey with you!

Danielle is an amazingly warm-hearted, intelligent woman. Empathetic and intuitive without putting on airs. I have complete confidence in her and am really grateful she entered my life.

I really like how easy it has been to discuss topics with Danielle. She does a great job giving analogies if I don't quite understand something. We have used the online messaging and have had phone sessions, and I really like having the options that are available through BetterHelp. It has been a great experience and I would definitely recommend to my friends.

I take time to reveal a lot of things to people. But Danielle has helped me ease into the process of sharing. Day by day, and little by little. I feel like just sharing and listening to the little advices has helped me think for myself regarding my current situation. Thanks Danielle. I hope to continue therapy with your help.

I love my counselor! I’ve been so busy lately that talking to a counselor hasn’t been an option until now! She gives great advice, asks all the right questions to help me figure out how I feel about situations. Amazing, simply amazing!

Danielle is very professional and supportive. If you just need to be heard or advice she is more than capable of it.

I've never participated in any type of counseling before. Danielle makes me feel comfortable, like I can share anything, does not pass judgment but gives sound advice. I truly appreciate her encouragement and help in figuring out my life.
