Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, parenting a teenager, exploring adoption, or simply facing everyday challenges, you don’t have to do it alone. With 15 years of social work experience, I’m here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you move toward the life you want to build.
I’m a trauma‐informed therapist who believes healing doesn’t require perfection—just honesty, compassion, and a willingness to take the next small step. Most of the people I work with are balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and the invisible emotional load that comes with everyday life. They’re strong, capable, and exhausted from carrying more than anyone realizes.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real, relatable, and not the kind of therapist who just nods silently. I show up fully. I help you connect the dots. And I hold space for the parts of you that have been working so hard for so long.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the realities of everyday life and offers nonjudgemental compassionate support, I’d be honored to work with you.
My name is Danielle, and I was born and raised in Colorado Springs. As a former college athlete, I have always valued movement, balance, and living an active lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, hiking, running, biking, and spending weekends in the mountains, along with being a mother to my two precious children! 🥰
I earned my Master’s degree from University of Denver, where I discovered my passion for psychology and understanding human behavior. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults across a variety of treatment settings. I have extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, learning disabilities, autism, personality disorders, identity concerns, and other mental health challenges. I believe there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. I enjoy taking an integrative and individualized approach to treatment, meeting clients where they are while supportively walking alongside them throughout their journey. My therapeutic style is compassionate, empathetic, and client-centered. My goal is to help clients cultivate inner peace, self-acceptance, and resilience as they navigate life’s many transitions and adventures.

I am also certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and board certified in neurofeedback therapy (BCN)!
Hello! I believe healing begins by attuning to ourselves and becoming more aware of our powerful and intuitive body systems. These systems let us know when we feel safe/unsafe in a challenging situation. I have felt the power of this practice and notice the improvement of regulation.
I am continually striving to create an anti-racist, body-positive, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive space where I acknowledge the systemic issues that impact these individuals and their unique experiences.
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood. As both a therapist and Air Force veteran, I value authenticity, resilience, and the importance of genuine human connection. Clients often describe me as approachable, thoughtful, and direct when needed. I strive to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel supported as you work toward your goals.
I work with adults and older teens navigating addiction, trauma, co-occurring mental health concerns, and life transitions. I am experienced in supporting veterans, first responders, and those impacted by a loved one's substance use. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you better understand your experiences and move forward with greater confidence.

Hi there! I’m a bilingual and bicultural Latina therapist who provides therapy in both English and Spanish.

I also have specialized domestic violence training and a passion for supporting survivors on their healing journey. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
