Dani is passionate about holistic healing and thinking outside the box in her practice. She encourages her clients to get out of their comfort zone to change engrained patterns and core beliefs from childhood. She believes healing requires a bit of pain and discomfort before positive change can happen and facilitates an emotionally safe environment to explore this with clients. Her approach and style is holistic, eclectic, connection-based, and trauma-focused. Approaches she frequently uses are Psychodynamic, EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Somatic exercises.
