About Danielle (she/her/hers)

Hi there! I’m Danielle and I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) here at WHC. My approach to therapy includes developing the foundation of a strong therapeutic relationship to address your desired goals and assist you in finding balance and peace. We all come from different walks of life, and I am passionate about providing a safe and compassionate space to embark on your own healing process.

I have the privilege of walking alongside a diverse range of individuals including children, teens, young adults, and adults. My experience includes working with those who are healing from trauma, adult children of alcoholics and emotionally immature parents, and physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, as well as those struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

During sessions I provide unconditional positive regard while holding space for your challenges and concerns. My hope is to gently guide you in identifying the changes you would like to see in your behavior, internal dialogue, and your life as a whole. I also understand that sometimes, we just need someone who will listen to our story and support the healing process. Together, we can create a plan to make small changes for long-term, monumental growth.

I often utilize techniques rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and  Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you identify the barriers you may be facing on the path to living a fulfilling life, whether they be internal or external. Together, we may explore how the past may be affecting the present, and hopes for the future. I am passionate about providing non-judgmental, compassionate, and trauma-informed care. 

For self-care, I am open about engaging in my own personal therapy, and also enjoy spending time with friends, watching scary movies, or trying out a new recipe.
