Therapist

The foundation of my practice is based on the respect I have for my clients, and my therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. As a trained and experienced therapist, I am not only technically objective, but also provide you with emotional nourishment and assistance as you work through problem areas in your life. Psychotherapy is about growth and transformation and equips you to overcome challenges impacting your family, job or relationships. My areas of expertise include addiction, relationship or job-related issues, depression, anxiety and stress. I employ solution focused therapy based on psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. I am also a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to evaluate employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up, testing, and aftercare.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and empowering. Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to. I work with adults who want to better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships, and I focus on helping clients build skills they can actually use in daily life. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start—just a willingness to show up.

I have experience working with high-risk children who receive special education in a clinical day school. I have worked youth age 3-15 years of age of varying academic levels, learning abilities, and behavioral and emotional issues.

I am trained to utilize specialized de-escalation strategies that ensure the care, welfare, safety of others. I have experience working with adults in the criminal justice system. I have also worked with juvenile delinquent youth providing individual and family therapy. I am trained in evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC).

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Hi, I’m Dr. Dani...and I’ll be honest with you from the start: I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they can finally exhale. With over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, my background spans crisis intervention, family systems, and culturally responsive care.

I have a particular heart for women and couples who are carrying a lot... navigating stress, relationships, and life transitions...and doing it often without anyone really seeing them.

That changes here.
