Danielle is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. She is a proud pirate and a two-time graduate of East Carolina University, having received her undergraduate degree in Family and Community Services and her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Danielle understands that beginning therapy can be one of the most vulnerable and brave steps a person can take toward getting the help they deserve. She recognizes that opening up to a new therapist about one’s innermost challenges can feel overwhelming, so she strives to provide all her clients with a safe and affirming space. She aims to develop a meaningful therapeutic relationship that helps clients feel secure and empowered, enabling them to reach their goals by recognizing and befriending their innate resources of faith, love, and trust.

As a contextual therapist, Danielle believes that change is best facilitated by exploring one’s family of origin relationships to understand better how to heal past wounds and strengthen current relationships—both within oneself and with others. Therefore, she views therapy as a collaborative process, both within the therapeutic relationship and beyond, by encouraging the involvement of partners, peers, family members, or chosen family members in the healing process. She believes a collaborative approach can assist in maintaining change and helps clients feel supported while working towards change. Danielle also believes involving trusted loved ones in your journey can create opportunities for real-time emotionally corrective experiences, where relationships can be strengthened and healed.

When she is not working, Danielle enjoys spending time with her husband, their dog Atlas, friends, and family. In addition to quality time with loved ones, she enjoys weightlifting, horseback riding, and exploring local coffee shops.
