(she/her)
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Georgia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, teens, and families. I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues. I started my career working in child welfare where I worked alongside parents to help them become the best versions of themselves as individuals and as parents. I am experienced in working with parents and teens and helping each person improve those familial relationships. For over a decade, I had the honor of working in medical settings with individuals coping with and adjusting to a new chronic and/or terminal disease diagnosis and with their families as they grapple with their new normal. I have facilitated grief support groups for those who have lost a loved one or experienced a different type of loss. Processing grief is very important and looks different for each individual. I enjoy partnering with clients in finding their way back to joy and purpose after a loss. It is a huge step to seek out therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.
During the first session, we will get to know each other. I will answer any questions that you might have about therapy and explain my approach to helping you overcome any current struggles. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and heard. My hope is that you walk away feeling understood and as if you have guidance toward your next step.
As a therapist, I am very solution focused and client-centered. I take a casual approach to significant change for each and every person. My many years of experience have taught me how to create a comfortable space for clients to be truly vulnerable and authentic.
I am a good fit for anyone struggling with: *Chronic pain or illness: As someone with a disability and someone who has extensively worked in medical settings, I am uniquely qualified to walk with those coming to terms with a diagnosis or managing pain. *Anxiety: I enjoy working with clients to help them shift their thoughts and behaviors around the things they find stressful *Depression: Helping clients heal from depression and gain coping skills is important work that I enjoy *Grief: Grieving is a process and I provide space and guidance to those learning how to let go. *Life transitions: Big changes can be hard to navigate and I can walk along with you to find your new fit.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been successfully using CBT with clients for many years. If we can challenge or shift the way that we are thinking, we often find that our emotions will follow. CBT can be very helpful for those struggling with anxiety and/or depression, but it is also useful for those struggling with life transitions or coping with an illness.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have been through the foundational training for DBT and find that the skills taught are useful for almost everyone. I regularly ask clients to practice DBT skills in their day to day lives.
Couples Counseling
While not my primary practice focus, I do see couples when it is helpful to the individual I am seeing and/or when doing family work.
Integrative
I use an integrated approach to therapy and try to meet each client where they are. I utilize evidenced based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but ultimately work with the individual to construct a treatment plan that serves their needs best. It is a huge step to seek out therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.

Danielle was very warm and kind, and I felt genuinely listened to throughout the session. I was nervous going in, but she created a comfortable space where I could open up. It really felt like she cared, and I’m glad I chose to start therapy with her.

I am very excited to move forward with Danielle after our first session this week. She is very warm, and made me feel extremely comfortable sharing what I am going through. I have tried starting therapy a few times, and have never found a good fit until now. Danielle talked about how she is solution-oriented, but that we can also take time to process things that are causing anxiety. I am so excited to work with her and be able to make progress.

I especially like Danielle as she her age is compassionate to the younger generation and older generations respectfully. She listens carefully and offers guidance and exercises to work on. She does not just side with me, but makes me more understanding of my childrens decisions and why they might be stressful for me to understand. I have been very pleased with our sessions and will continue to work with her.
