About me

Hi! I am so glad you're here. Are you looking for a therapist you can connect with and will help you grow? I am passionate about helping teens and adults heal from traumatic experiences and overcome mental health challenges. It takes a lot of bravery to ask for help and examine your patterns of behavior. It is a honor to walk alongside clients and help them create meaningful change and healing. I am trained in the cutting edge treatment method of EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). EMDR is primarily used to help treat and heal trauma, anxiety, phobias, and distressing life events. Many of the clients report symptom relief through EMDR that they were previously unable to achieve in talk therapy alone, I would love to talk more and see if EMDR is a good fit for you!

Get to know me

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

The first session will be a time for us to get to know one another. We will go over and complete an assessment so I can learn more about your history, symptoms, and reasons for seeking treatment. Together we will create a treatment goal and define objectives for treatment. Once goals are established is when the real work begins.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Whether you are experiencing a relationship issue, life transition, being negatively impacted by past traumas or events-- I believe therapy can be both a safe and a beneficial experience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with a wide variety of clients including: adults, families, children, and teens.

Danae is truly exceptional. I genuinely look forward to every session with her. She has a unique ability to keep me grounded, guide meaningful reflection, and help me create clear, forward-thinking plans. I’ve worked with many therapists in the past, but never felt like I had found one that actually got me, until I met her.
