Life can be overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, feelings of low self-worth, or the weight of life’s challenges. If you’re here, you might be longing for someone to truly understand and accept you without judgment. That’s where I come in.
I’m Danielle, and I’m passionate about walking alongside women who feel stuck, helping them embrace themselves fully and thrive in their unique circumstances. My own journey of personal growth began as a teenager, and I’ve learned valuable lessons along the way. I’m deeply grateful for those who supported me with kindness and compassion, and it’s my heartfelt mission to offer that same understanding to you.
In our sessions, I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to guide you through conversations about the changes that feel important, yet daunting, in your life. We’ll work together to uncover your strengths and clarify your own reasons for wanting to take steps toward positive change. I also incorporate parts work, which can help you better understand the different aspects of yourself and how they show up in your relationships. This awareness can make navigating conflicts and life’s challenges more constructive and less overwhelming.
I believe that growth happens on many levels—physically, emotionally, and mentally. That’s why I integrate somatic and body-based exercises into our work when it’s fitting, to help you connect with yourself in a deeper, more meaningful way. If your spirituality plays a significant role in your life, I’m here to honor that and can incorporate it into our sessions as you wish.
In addition to supporting women on their journey to self-acceptance and healing, I’m also passionate about infant mental health and helping parents build strong, healthy attachments with their young children. If you’re navigating the challenges of parenting or want to explore how your own attachment experiences impact your relationships, I’m here to support you.
My approach is gentle, holistic, and always centered on what feels right for you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply feeling lost in life, we can work together to move toward the growth and healing you deserve.
