My Approach to Helping
Dani provides compassionate healing with humor, direct feedback, and (sometimes) colorful language to drop truths and insights in session.
Dani sees clients for individual telehealth counseling, coaching, and psychotherapy. She accepts clients who are 18 years of age and older who have mild, moderate, or severe mental and behavioral health concerns, substance abuse and chemical dependency, eating disorders, self-injurious behaviors, and trauma recovery. She sees clients for stress management, anxiety, healthy relationship skill development, and other problems of everyday living. Dani also provides seminars on mindfulness skills, boundary setting, and identifying potential red flag behaviors that indicate the potential for abuse and predatory behaviors. Dani welcomes clients from all races, religions, spiritual beliefs, and orientations. She believes in an open minded approach and respect for all cultural backgrounds, spiritual beliefs, and lifestyles.
Dani has an eclectic approach to therapy based on strong client centered values. She challenges and encourages her clients to take personal responsibility and develop strategies to alleviate their distress. Dani has a welcoming, familiar, informal, and amicable personality that conveys support, healing, and positivity. She believes her privileged position as an advocate, healer, and counselor is an opportunity to be a positive force for change in the lives of her clients. Dani’s personal style is transparent, forthright, direct, and candid. She incorporates humor, wit, and common sense into the counseling session. Her clinical style is direct and politely confrontational, as well as, encouraging, compassionate, understanding, and respectful. She engages clients to develop insight with a reality based grounded approach.
Dani is sensitive to the personal suffering of her clients and understands that entering into therapy is a daunting process that only comes from a sincere desire to make positive changes in one's life. Dani views the therapeutic relationship as a unique opportunity for clients to discuss their emotional issues in a real and honest way. Clients benefit from an impartial observer in their lives as a guide to explore their fears and intimate thoughts. The therapeutic relationship is based on trust, hope, healing, and compassion. Therapy is based on an evidenced based empirical approach to treatment. She uses mindfulness techniques to help clients develop coping skills, improve self-understanding, and actively create the lives they aspire and dream to attain.

How Psychotherapy Can Help
Psychotherapy is a space where meaningful change becomes possible. It's not about having all the answers or fixing everything overnight?it's about having a compassionate partner to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges. Through psychotherapy, you can learn more about yourself, uncover the roots of patterns that no longer serve you, and explore new ways to respond to the world around you.
It?s a process that?s deeply personal and tailored to your unique needs. Psychotherapy helps you heal from past hurts, build healthier relationships, and strengthen your sense of self. It?s also a place to practice skills that empower you to break free from cycles of dysfunction, set boundaries, and create the life you envision.
Ultimately, psychotherapy offers a space to grow, thrive, and discover what?s possible for you?not just in moments of struggle, but as you step into your full potential. It's about progress, not perfection, and every step forward is meaningful.
My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
I see psychotherapy as a space for transformation?a purposeful journey where you can heal, grow, and rediscover your inner strength. It?s not just about addressing problems or managing symptoms; it?s about uncovering the deeper patterns and experiences that shape your life. The purpose of psychotherapy is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore these layers, make sense of your story, and find a path forward that feels authentic and empowering.
Psychotherapy provides the tools to break free from cycles that no longer serve you, to navigate challenges with resilience, and to build relationships that reflect your values and needs. It?s about learning to show up for yourself, to set boundaries, and to embrace the person you are becoming. Ultimately, the purpose of psychotherapy is to help you thrive?not just in moments of struggle, but in all aspects of your life. It?s about progress, healing, and living with intention and possibility.
My Role as a Therapist
At the heart of my approach is the belief that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful transformation. I view this relationship as a collaborative, compassionate, and safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. By fostering trust and genuine connection, I aim to empower my clients to uncover their strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and embrace new ways of thinking and being.
I see therapy as a partnership that supports learning, growth, and healing, where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Through this relationship, clients can discover their own resilience, build skills to navigate life?s challenges, and take steps toward thriving in every aspect of their lives. The therapeutic relationship is more than just a professional connection?it's a transformative bond that helps clients move toward the lives they deserve.
My Therapy Focus
My therapy focus is grounded in creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported as they navigate their unique paths to healing and growth. I specialize in working with individuals who are breaking free from trauma, untangling the effects of narcissistic abuse, addressing codependency, and challenging dysfunctional family dynamics. My approach emphasizes empowerment, self-discovery, and the courage to set boundaries that honor your needs and well-being.
I also incorporate mindfulness-based therapies to help clients cultivate a deeper sense of awareness, presence, and self-compassion. By learning to stay grounded in the moment, clients can better manage stress, regulate emotions, and break free from reactive patterns. Mindfulness helps build the foundation for lasting change, offering tools to navigate life with greater clarity and balance.
Whether through the transformative process of EMDR, mindfulness practices, or exploring strategies to foster healthier relationships, my goal is to help clients break cycles, heal wounds, and thrive. At the core of my work is the belief that everyone has the capacity to learn, grow, and create meaningful change when supported with care and compassion.
