Danyelle’s Approach
Healing is a journey, not a destination. I believe therapy should be a space of discovery, expansion, and transformation—a place where you can bring all parts of yourself without fear or hesitation. My approach is deeply client-centered, trauma-informed, and rooted in social justice values. I draw from Humanistic, Womanist, relational, and somatic perspectives while integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based techniques, and mindfulness practices.
In our work together, I slow things down, hold space for self-reflection, and help you explore new perspectives in a way that is both grounding and expansive. Therapy with me is not about rigid labels or quick fixes—it’s about deepening your connection to yourself, unlearning harmful narratives, and embracing the full spectrum of who you are.
About Danyelle
Who Am I?
I am a Registered Associate Clinical Social Worker, deeply committed to creating healing, liberation, and self-exploration spaces for my clients. My path into this work was shaped by a lifelong curiosity about the human experience and a passion for helping others find meaning, healing, and self-acceptance.
I believe that therapy is an act of self-love, resistance, and empowerment, especially for those of us who have been told—explicitly or implicitly—that we must shrink ourselves to survive. My goal is to co-create a therapeutic space with you that honors your lived experiences, embraces your complexity, and allows for deep, transformative healing.
