Who she works with
Danielle works with ESDs, school districts, early childhood programs, and community and advocacy organizations across the Pacific Northwest and Spanish-speaking communities — including teams serving McKinney-Vento, homeless/foster youth, migrant, multilingual, and underserved students.
Each of these can be adapted to a keynote, workshop, multi-session series, or facilitated group. Custom topics are always welcome.
Educators, school teams, ECEAP/ESIT staff
How early adversity shapes the developing brain, and what regulation-first responses look like in real classrooms — grounded in Bruce Perry's neurosequential work.
Whole-staff keynote, district-wide PD, ESD gatherings
Resilience isn't grit or willpower. A hopeful look at the relationships, rhythms, and repair that let children and adults recover from hard things.
Interactive workshop, 90 min to half-day
Somatic and co-regulation practices participants can feel in their own bodies before they teach them to anyone else.
Head Start, ECEAP, preschool, home visiting programs
Attachment, sensory needs, and the caregiver relationship as the true intervention in early childhood settings.
Leadership teams, district PD, ESD coaches
A tiered framework for social-emotional and trauma-responsive supports that fits the system you already have.
Nonprofit staff, frontline teams, McKinney-Vento coordinators
Honest language for what helpers carry, plus sustainable practices for organizations that ask a lot of their people.
District teams, family liaisons, community caregivers
Making room for grief in school culture — including displaced students, staff losses, and culturally grounded ceremonial wellness practices.
Districts, ESDs, and schools across the Pacific Northwest and Spanish-speaking communities
Culturally responsive, trauma-informed frameworks that honor the strengths and realities of migrant, Indigenous, and multilingual families.
Small groups, staff circles, parent/caregiver groups
Therapeutic-like group experiences for grief, trauma impact, and wellness — co-regulation, ceremony, and story in a safe, held container.
Transparent ranges so you can plan. If budget is the barrier, say so — sliding scale and grant-friendly quotes are genuinely available for ESDs, ECEAP, ESIT, and McKinney-Vento programs.
