Those whom are in need of getting their life back together is always a challenge and can be very stressful.

My Approach: A Direct Path to Trauma Recovery My name is Danni, and I'm a Licensed Therapist in Michigan. My approach is direct, heavy, and unapologetically thorough. I won't just ask, "How are you feeling today?" because frankly, if that was enough, you wouldn't be here. We are going to dig. My goal is to get to the root cause of your distress and dismantle it, brick by heavy brick. This is a form of progressive therapy, and it is driven by one core belief: that the most profound and lasting change comes from psychodynamic trauma processing and inner child work. We will not be skimming the surface. We will begin there, yes—at the surface of your current pain—but we will be following it down into the core of your past. We will find where your coping mechanisms and triggers were first formed, because our deepest parts are often stuck in the moment of their original trauma. The goal of this process is to go back to that stuck place, find safety and stability, and then walk you through the developmental stages you missed so that the "inner child" can finally grow up and become one with your current self. This is not easy. It’s intense, it can be scary, and it will require you to face things you’ve likely spent a lifetime running from. We'll be going into the depths, so you can stop just surviving and start truly living. Because of this, my approach is not for everyone. As I see it, my job is to be an honest guide, and my first act of honesty is telling you WHO MIGHT NOT find this to be a good fit. If you are looking for a quick fix, this is NOT FOR YOU. This is a commitment to a deep, transformative process. If you are NOT willing to talk about your childhood, this is going to be incredibly challenging for you. We will always find our way back to the inner child to understand the origins of your core wounds. If you believe your trauma or pain is "not that bad," my approach is probably NOT FOR YOU. I don't believe in minimizing your pain. I believe in facing it, no matter how scary it may seem. My focus is on individuals because you cannot have a healthy relationship with anyone else until you have one with yourself. My commitment is to get to the heart of the matter, so that you can heal and find the freedom you've been searching for. If you’re ready to face it all, I am here.
