Specializing in working with children, teens, and adults, Danielle creates a safe, welcoming environment where clients can explore their history, needs, patterns, and strengths to promote healthy growth and change.

Danielle's practice focuses on addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, emotion regulation, executive functioning, and behavioral challenges. She believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship and works collaboratively with clients to meet their unique goals. Understanding the importance of intersectionality, Danielle acknowledges the impact of culture, diversity, family stressors, and resources on an individual's well-being, integrating these factors into her holistic approach to therapy.

With a strong educational foundation, Danielle earned both her Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO.

Danielle's approach is encapsulated in the words of Carl Rogers: "The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination." This philosophy underpins her work, as she empowers clients to embrace their journey of growth and self-discovery in a supportive, nurturing environment.
