Hi, I’m Danielle, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping adults—particularly military veterans and first responders—work through the lasting effects of trauma, stress, and life transitions. I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session, with a strong belief that healing starts with a trusting therapeutic relationship.

I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Since beginning my practice in 2022, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, specializing in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Over time, my passion and focus have expanded to working with adults who have served their communities and country, many of whom carry invisible wounds from their experiences.

In addition to being trained in TF-CBT, I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support clients in processing trauma, building resilience, and navigating life challenges. While I draw on evidence-based practices, I believe that the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together—one rooted in safety, respect, and authenticity.

Outside the therapy room, I share my life with my loyal dog, Gunner, who reminds me daily of the power of presence and connection.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’m here to walk with you.
