About

I'm a very laid-back therapist. I like to laugh and be comfortable in session. At the same time, I'm going to hold you accountable for the work that we're doing in a funny and supportive way. Outside of work, I am a 500-hour yoga teacher. I've practiced for over 20 years and teach several classes a week. Yoga really engages the mind, body, and spirit. It works in all those areas to make me my healthiest self.

There are no answers to the questions OCD is asking. We have to learn how to sit with the unknown. It's about learning how to ride the waves of the ocean instead of having them crash onto you.

Danielle is helping me with working on putting off compulsions in new areas and was helpful in suggesting a slower approach to not napping during the day as my psychiatric suggested.

Danielle is helping me with exposures and response again and assigning new areas to work on the next 2 weeks.

Danielle is having me do exposures that will hopefully help me tolerate the uncertainty of the exposure causing harm. She does not force me to do an exposure.

She is real, raw, open and honest. She reflects and reiterates what I’m saying to make sure she understands me. It feels like she genuinely cares and is motivated to help me get better.

I really liked how approachable Danielle was. When my therapist comes off as too clinical, I can feel uncomfortable.

She is so easy to talk to, and does a great job at connecting the dots on the road to managing my OCD. I have already seen improvement in myself and with the “tools” I’ve been given to battle my daily/hourly/minutely reoccurring triggers.
