About Me

What would it be like for you if you could wake up tomorrow and live the life you always wanted to live?

It can be hard to reach out and ask for help. Especially when life is stressful and overwhelming. So I want to do what I can to make this process of healing as user-friendly as possible. I do this with a counseling style that has been described as warm, blunt, and with a sense of humor. My clients and I often laugh together. I usually ask many simple questions, because I want to help people reach their own conclusions. I also tend to use a lot of analogies, because that often helps me understand concepts and ideas, so I figure that can also help my clients understand things as well. 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, so I try to be as honest and transparent as possible.

I believe that our past has a huge impact on how we act today. I specialize in working through how our past impacts us so that we can have a more successful future. To do this, I mainly draw from the therapy approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Using this technique, my clients find the best path to healing and growth in their lives.

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 try to respond once a day. Having said that, I don't have the ability to immediately respond to messages, and there may be times when it takes me up to 48 hours to respond. This means that if you need immediate assistance, a crisis call center or face to face counseling is more appropriate for you.

I have done work ranging from psychiatric hospital work to in-person therapy work. I am now working in online therapy private practice for anxious millennials. I like to spend my free time with my family, cooking, working out, or doing nerdy things like playing video games.

Are you ready to get started on a journey of happiness and healing?

Written by C.H. on Nov 30, 2020 after counseling with Danielle for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, and career difficulties

Danielle always responds quickly, and always encourages me to explore what I'm feeling and why. She even remembers old things I've mentioned, and brings them up time and again. I always feel like I'm being heard, and she's helped me a lot.

Danielle has been very helpful in her sessions with me. I feel very safe confiding in her. She has helped me think through issues and helped me develop positive coping strategies. I highly recommend her as a counselor.

Written by J.O. on Oct 30, 2020 after counseling with Danielle for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, anger management, and compassion fatigue

I have really enjoyed my time and feedback from Danielle thus far. She is curious in that she asks many relevant questions to particular issues brought up in conversations and isn’t afraid to be direct, yet understanding when needed. I feel very comfortable exploring personal issues with her and have found her guidance to be very sportive, very comforting, and very personable thus far.

Written by B.E. on Sep 27, 2020 after counseling with Danielle for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, and self esteem

I have lost my way so many times and when I 1st started talking to Danielle I thought she was going to help me find a new way but I have learned that it's not about finding a new way it's about finding a road past the dead end. Danielle met me on a dark road and I don't feel like its a dead end any more I know there are ways to make new roads to continue our journey in this life. Sometimes in our life we feel like we are drowning and there is no one there to save us but Danielle will be there and she will help you hold your head above the water until you are strong enough to find shore.

Danielle has been wonderful to work with and I feel I have gained a lot from our time together.

From the minute I was matched with Danielle, she responded to introduce herself. She has been phenomenal to work with. She has tried to tackle everything I’ve thrown at her! And she hasn’t even blinked an eye at anything I’ve thrown her way. Her sessions are not only helpful but really interesting. Her counseling style is super easy to understand and follow. I am so pleased with this experience.

My experience has been refreshing. I really just needed someone to listen to me and tell me if I’m being ridiculous in various situations, haha. I like to listen to different view points and to ultimately hear strategies/advice to help me in my relationships.

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.
