About Danielle
She works from the idea that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting small goals, and testing what helps in daily life. Dani uses clear, realistic strategies rather than long explanations, and she encourages small changes that can build momentum.
Dani draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities and pace. For people who have experienced traumatic events, she incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate.
Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness of thoughts and feelings in the moment. When relationship issues come up, elements of the Gottman Method guide practical communication work. Dani adapts tools to match what a person needs rather than following a single formula.
She holds an LCSW and has five years of professional experience in California. Dani aims to make therapy understandable and manageable for people juggling work, family, and everyday life. The first session is a chance to set priorities and plan next steps together.
