Danielle has helped me with one of the most difficult times in my life. She has helped me process and filter out my thoughts and reassure me in a way that has given me a clear mind. I am truly thankful for the wisdom and kindness that she has given me over the course of our time together.

I enjoy talking to Danielle! I feel seen and understood even when talking about some of the hardest things I'm going through currently. I don't feel afraid to be open and honest about the things i'm going through and the feelings that I am having about them all.

There was instant connection with Dani on our call today. I immediately felt open and ready to share. While we discussed many different things that spiraled across many different topics I still felt like we hit on some important topics that we will likely build upon in future appointments. I’m looking forward to continuing my journey with Danielle
