You've crossed borders — or your family has — and some part of that journey still lives in your body.
Private practice · Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHC-A) · Opening September 2026
A soft place to set down what you've been carrying
Danielle works with children, adults, and families who are carrying things they may not yet have words for. She offers attentive, culturally grounded support for people who have endured hardship or trauma — whether that shows up in a child's anxiety, a painful relationship, or a story that has never been told out loud. Her promise is simple: to listen with generosity, humility, and grace — and to help you make sense of it, feel dignified in the telling, and find a way forward toward hope.
Schedule a consultation or sessionA gentle beginning
You might be here if…
Home has not always been safe — a partner's anger, a relationship that hurt you, a family story that's hard to untangle.
You're a child, or you're raising one, and something happened that a small heart shouldn't have to hold.
You're carrying something you've never said out loud — not even to yourself.
Whatever you bring, it will be met without shame.
Who Danielle works with
Children, individuals, families & groups
Danielle is a licensed child psychologist (Ph.D., LMHC-A) whose practice centers children ages 5–17, with room for individuals, families, and facilitated groups. Each session is shaped so healing can happen in ways that feel safe, relational, and whole.
Children & teens, ages 5–17
Developmentally-attuned support for young people navigating big feelings, grief, anxiety, and experiences a small heart shouldn't have to hold.
Spanish-speaking & immigrant families
Sessions offered fully in Spanish, with deep understanding of what it means to build a life between cultures — and what immigration can cost a family. Spanish-speaking and immigrant families are warmly welcomed.
Individuals
Adults healing from domestic or intimate partner abuse, complicated family relationships, and experiences they are only now finding words for.
Groups
Facilitated group sessions where shared stories, creativity, and community become part of the healing.
How sessions work
The approach
Trauma-informed
Sessions move at the pace of your nervous system. No pushing into stories before there's enough safety to hold them.
Holistic & Somatic
Body, breath, sleep, relationships, and meaning all belong in the room — not just thoughts and symptoms.
Neurorelational
Drawing on Bruce Perry's neurosequential framework, Danielle understands symptoms as patterns of adaptation shaped by experience, and works with the brain's natural hierarchy of regulation.
Art-expressive
Art materials, movement, and creative process invite what words alone cannot yet reach. Expression becomes a doorway into understanding and healing.
Internal Family Systems
A compassionate, parts-based approach that honors the many voices within each person and leads with curiosity rather than judgment.
Collaborative
You're the expert of your life. Danielle's role is to bring frameworks, steadiness, and honest company for the walk.
“It was a beautiful time. I learned a lot and was touched by the stories. The meditation at the end did it for me — it brought tears I did not know I had.”
How your story is held here
Dignified, never shamed — and moving toward hope
Sessions move at your pace. You will be believed, and your story will be held with generosity, grace, and care. Danielle's work is to help you piece it apart, make sense of it, and feel dignified in the process — never shamed — and together, to find a way forward, toward hope.

Initial appointments
Let's connect
My door is open. Before anything else, I'd love to simply meet you — 15 to 30 minutes, virtually, to hear your story, answer your questions, and see together whether we're a good fit. There's no pressure and no commitment; just a warm space to begin. Consultations open September 5, 2026, Monday through Thursday, 1:00–5:00 PM Pacific, and I'll confirm your time within 2–3 business days. Beginning October 1, 2026, ongoing sessions will be scheduled through Simple Practice, and this page will link there directly.
