A Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Danielle, 

​

I am a registered psychotherapist (qualifying). I have a Master of Counselling (MCouns) focused on Interpersonal Dialogue and a certificate in Gestalt Therapy from the Gestalt institute of Toronto. 

​

Life can be overwhelming, and you deserve support. Wherever you find yourself I will meet you with warmth, acceptance, and curiosity. We will work together to unpack the difficulties you are navigating and alleviate the distress you are feeling. I practice from a relational therapy framework and specialize in working with adult children of parents with addiction and/or emotional difficulties. I have come to believe that while we can sustain the most harm in relationships, we can also experience the most healing in relationships.

​

My additional areas of focus are depression, hopeless, anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, neglect, shame, grief, loss, illness, death & dying, life transitions, family and relationship difficulties, and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. 

​

I draw on my lived experiences, training, education, and clinical supervision to inform the approaches I utilize in session. The therapeutic modalities I employ are psychodynamic, gestalt, person-centered, relational, and trauma informed perspectives.  I work to create a space that is anti-oppressive, queer positive, sex positive, and trauma informed.  Overall, I aim to be a compassionate witness to your human experience. I endeavor to facilitate growth, greater self-understanding, and empower you on your journey of healing and transformation.

​

In my spare time I enjoy watching TV, going for hikes, cooking, exploring new places, and hanging out with friends and family.
