Danielle completed her undergraduate degree at Penn State University and her Master’s in Social Work at Columbia School of Social Work, graduating with the Advanced Clinical Practice track, concentrating on health, mental health, and disabilities.

Danielle creates a collaborative therapeutic environment where she and the client work together to create meaningful change.  She aims to create a non-judgmental space that allows clients to feel safe exploring and processing their feelings and experiences.  Danielle is transparent in challenging her clients to confront obstacles that may hold them back.

Danielle supports clients in identifying unhealthy patterns, their perception of past experiences, and present life circumstances that influence how they think, feel, and behave.  She works with clients to build on existing strengths and incorporate new skills to benefit their emotional well-being and growth mindset.

Danielle excels at utilizing evidence-based interventions and tailors her approach to meet each client’s unique needs.  She takes an integrative strengths-based, person-centered approach to therapy.  Modalities include psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and interpersonal psychotherapy.
