By engaging in playful, cooperative, and communicative dimensions of art, she ushers in a creative and unique process necessary for self-understanding, growth, and change.

She also has experience facilitating process-oriented groups that nurture healthy social connections and emotional awareness and expression.

 

Danielle is passionate about promoting holistic well-being and authentic self-expression in her therapy sessions. By integrating mindfulness and body-centered practices into her approach, she encourages her clients to actively engage in embodied, present-moment awareness which can be instrumental in nurturing self-awareness and sparking meaningful growth, including better impulse control and emotional regulation.
