Hello, I’m Danielle, also known as Dr. Dani, and I’m passionate about helping people find healing, balance, and purpose in their lives. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind clients, refugees, educators, and young adults navigating major life transitions. I am bi-lingual in English and American Sign Language.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I believe therapy should be a safe and inclusive space where you feel heard and understood without judgment. I integrate evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strength-based counseling to meet your unique needs.
I have a deep understanding of how culture, identity, and communication shape mental health. Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or identity-related challenges, I work with you to uncover your resilience, build coping tools, and restore a sense of hope and self-trust.
If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you , at your pace, in your language, and on your terms.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
