Life can feel overwhelming at times. Individual therapy provides a safe space to explore and build resilience. Let's work together to gain clarity, uncover your strengths, and increase alignment with your values. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed and culturally humble. I tailor therapy to embrace and honor your unique experiences. My hope is that you will feel seen, heard, and understood.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first appointment is dedicated to discussing your preferences, concerns and goals. During subsequent appointments we will develop skills to help you achieve your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I prioritize the individual. Rather than using one specific therapeutic technique, I integrate interventions from a variety of techniques. This allows me to tailor therapy to meet your needs. I am extensively trained, passionate and dedicated to my profession.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My mission is to provide inclusive, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals reconnect to themselves, their loved ones and their community. If you are seeking this, please reach out to me.

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
