Hello! I’m Danielle, and I’m a licensed Registered Nurse, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

As both a psychotherapist and a nurse, my goal is to empower clients to reclaim their health and lives, no matter what challenges or experiences have led them to seek therapy. With over 10 + years of experience spanning community mental health, emergency crisis response, private practice, and medical healthcare settings, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families from various diverse backgrounds.

Here’s what you can expect from our psychotherapy sessions:

I practice an integrative, holistic approach, utilizing a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s needs. My current practice focuses on individuals, couples, and families, drawing from psychodynamic, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral models. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with complementary therapies such as mindfulness, meditation, self-advocacy, and harm reduction. My education specializes in addiction treatment, cognitive science, and psychiatric nursing.

As a proud mental health advocate, I meet my client’s where they are at. I approach my work with compassion, empathy, and respect for the your unique experiences. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to share their stories, explore emotions, and together we develop a personal therapeutic treatment plan that addresses bio-psycho spiritual model of recovery.

Fun facts about me: I’m a proud Chicago native, a self-proclaimed book nerd, and I have a love for gardening and spending time with my plants and four-legged companions. Nature, especially near water, is where I feel most connected to myself. I believe live music is deeply healing, and I am currently pursuing my Doctorate.
