Meet Dani
I am an animal-loving, capitalist-skeptic dog and plant mom who copes with the stressors of life by connecting with my community, getting lost in nature on a mountain, joining a dance party, and flipping furniture. I strive to maintain a calm environment with a touch of enthusiasm and a dash of empowerment for the people in my life.
Counseling Approach
Individualized Care | Virtual Sessions
I specialize in using a person-centered, solution-focused approach where you are the driver of your healing journey, and we work as a team to cultivate a path that is best suited for you. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, promoting healing and personal growth.
Dance & Movement
Therapy Background
You may be thinking, "What the heck is this? Am I going to be led in a dance class? I thought this was therapy!" Have no fear, I am here to help clarify!
Dance/movement therapy is a holistic, creative arts therapy, where we use movement, affect, and gestures with the goal of deepening the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. I am trained to use the body as an assessment tool, where we may use guided imagery, props, movement, and breathing exercises to help streamline connection within the Self.

Individual Therapy
One-on-One Virtual Sessions
I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, shame, and trauma endured from societal and/or familial expectations to "be" or "look" a certain way. During our initial sessions, let's explore the barriers preventing you from loving yourself in your beautiful body, & work towards loving yourself a little more.
Got a bigger body? Sweet, me too.
Got a body that identifies as LGBTQ? Yas!
