Meet Danielle

I work with individuals to address a variety of issues including depression, stress, anxiety, trauma or emotional abuse, career challenges, and coping with grief and loss. I have experience working with a range of ages and populations. My counseling style is warm, caring, and goal-oriented. I am trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychoanalysis. I provide a supportive and emphatic environment for my clients. My goal is for you to feel safe and comfortable talking with me about what concerns you. I am here to listen and work with you to find strategies to make effective changes that are meaningful to you. It takes courage to seek help when we need it. I am glad you are here! I look forward to working with you.
