Danielle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) that draws upon a comprehensive background in psychology and counseling. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Kennesaw State University and a master’s degree in psychology with a focus on professional counseling from the University of West Georgia.
​
Her approach to therapy is multimodal, drawing from various psychotherapeutic theories and expressive arts to support children, adolescents, teens, and adults in their journey towards integration and connection. With specialized training in trauma-informed expressive arts therapy (EXAT), Danielle is equipped to work sensitively with individuals who have experienced trauma and significant stress. She focuses on fostering healing and secure attachment through creativity and co-regulation, helping people reconnect with their inner selves and build a sense of safety and trust.
​
She is also passionate about supporting clients through life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration with a particular emphasis on cultivating resilience. As part of her practice, she facilitates process-oriented groups that nurture meaningful social connections and explore themes surrounding emotional awareness, emotional expression, self-advocacy, self-esteem, and resilience. Her goal is to create a therapeutic relationship that is compassionate, empathetically attuned, and empowering. By incorporating playful, cooperative, and communicative elements of art and play, she ushers in a creative and unique process that promotes self-understanding, growth, and connection.
​
Danielle promotes holistic well-being and authentic self-expression in her therapy sessions. She integrates mindfulness and body-centered practices into her approach, encouraging clients to actively engage in embodied, present-moment awareness. This engagement nurtures self-awareness, the quality of relationships, and supports meaningful change.
​
In her personal time, Danielle finds purpose in nurturing her own mind, body, and spirit through continuing education, deepening her yoga practice, and connecting with nature. She enjoys music, exploring different cultures and foods, all things fantasy and sci-fi, and cherishes her close friendships.
