Hello, I'm Danell. Do you ever feel your past getting in the way of your future? Is it hard to be positive? As a counselor, my role is to provide support and guidance to help individuals make positive changes in their lives. I’m ready to listen to your thoughts, fears, and concerns without judgment. I find that many times individuals already know the solution. My goal is to help you identify the barriers that are holding you back. My approach focuses on identifying past traumas that are affecting your daily life and helping you to process them.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am naturally a calm and patient person and this made counseling an ideal fit for me. My focus on trauma has taught me to identify triggers and I have learned that even seemingly 'minor' traumas can impact us in ways we never imagined. I look forward to working with you to identify anything that is preventing you from experiencing life the way you want to.
I prefer working with individual clients aged 13 and older. I specialize in therapy with individuals and have limited experience with couples and families. If you are looking for a couples or family therapist you can search by specialty to find one.

Do you experience intrusive thoughts or memories? I have found EMDR effective in a variety of situations and use it regularly in my practice. I look forward to discussing how it can work for you.
Do you struggle with the feeling that you will never be enough? CBT can help to change negative beliefs and irrational thoughts.
