A quick hello from Danielle

Originally from the Kansas City area, I have called Colorado Springs home for the past eight years. Outside of the therapy room, I am a big animal lover and share my home with two dogs and four cats. I enjoy all things creative, especially pottery, and believe that creativity is an essential part of being human and can be a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and connection. I also love traveling, exploring local coffee shops, and discovering new experiences and perspectives. As a neurodivergent therapist, I value authenticity and understand that there is no one "right" way to move through the world. While I can be socially awkward at times, I have found that showing up as my genuine self helps create a space where others can do the same. I strive to bring warmth, curiosity, humor, and compassion into my work, helping clients feel seen, accepted, and supported just as they are.

More About Danielle

Danielle completed her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS), where she also received her professional counselor training. Additionally, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services with a concentration in Social and Emotional Wellness from UCCS. Danielle is trained in EMDR and Reiki Level I. Her academic and clinical training emphasized the importance of a holistic framework and Danielle integrates this perspective into her work by considering clients’ emotional, social, physical, and environmental well-being.

In her practice, Danielle values the healing power of creative expression and incorporates it as an element of the therapeutic process. With training in Expressive Arts Therapy, she combines experiential techniques with traditional talk therapy, allowing clients to explore their emotions in non-verbal and intuitive ways. She integrates evidence-based techniques from Person-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, and EMDR, fostering a trauma-informed and client-centered space.
