LMFT, 8 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi, I’m Danielle, a psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a touch of humor—because healing doesn’t always have to feel so heavy. I blend evidence-based techniques with a personalized, down-to-earth style to ensure therapy feels like a collaborative and empowering journey.
In your first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you’re free to show up exactly as you are—no pressure, no judgment. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy, talk about your goals, and start building a supportive, collaborative relationship that’s grounded in trust, safety, and real connection.
My greatest strength as a therapist is helping clients heal from the patterns that no longer serve them so they can feel freer and more connected in their lives. With over 8 years of experience and advanced training in EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT, I support people in releasing the weight of trauma, building self-esteem, and creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. Clients often share that what stands out most is my ability to combine a safe, compassionate space with practical, evidence-based tools that truly spark change. Together, we uncover the roots of old beliefs and habits while learning new ways of relating that foster confidence, resilience, and authentic connection. And because growth doesn’t have to be all heavy work, I bring warmth, humor, and a belief in celebrating the small wins that make healing feel more human and empowering.
I am passionate about helping business professionals navigate the complexities of modern life. I specialize in working with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and self-esteem challenges—especially those who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside.
I utilize CBT to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts that may be affecting how they feel or act. Clients will learn practical tools to manage stress, improve their mood, and handle challenges in healthier ways.
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationship patterns shape the way they connect, trust, and feel secure today. By exploring these patterns in a safe, supportive space, we work toward healing past wounds, fostering healthier relationships, and building a stronger sense of self-worth and emotional security.
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and release distressing memories that may be stuck in the nervous system. By engaging both the mind and body through bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows clients to reduce the emotional charge of traumatic experiences, let go of old patterns, and create space for new, healthier ways of thinking and relating.
I use Brainspotting to help clients access and process trauma that is stored in the body and nervous system. By identifying eye positions linked to where trauma is held, Brainspotting allows clients to safely process unresolved experiences on a deeper level—helping reduce emotional distress, release old patterns, and create space for healing and resilience.
I practice a multi-modal, eclectic approach that allows me to draw from a variety of evidence-based therapies and tailor them to each client’s unique needs. I create a personalized roadmap for healing that addresses not just symptoms, but the deeper patterns keeping clients stuck—helping them move toward lasting growth, resilience, and connection.
