About danielle

 I’m often asked why I chose this work, and the answer feels simple: it’s who I am. I’ve always been someone who’s curious, reflective, and drawn to helping others make sense of their experiences.

Yes, my education and professional training shaped my skills — but it’s my lived experiences that deepened my empathy and perspective. I don’t take lightly the trust it takes to let someone into your story. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they grow, heal, and move toward a more grounded, fulfilling version of themselves.

 I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and  a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I earned my undergraduate degree in Communications from New York University and later completed my Master’s in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling at the University of South Florida.

Over the years, I’ve worked in community mental health centers, treatment facilities, hospitals, and private practice, supporting teens, adults, and veterans in both individual and group settings. These experiences have shaped a flexible, grounded approach that allows me to meet each client where they are.

 While I draw from several approaches, including cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy, mindfulness is the foundation of my work. At its core, mindfulness is simply learning to pay attention on purpose.

In a world where we’re constantly distracted and multitasking, it’s easy to feel scattered, disconnected, and pulled in a hundred directions. We lose touch with ourselves without even realizing it. Therapy offers a chance to slow down and come back into focus — to reconnect with your thoughts, your body, your values, and your sense of self. From that grounded place, meaningful change becomes much more possible.
