Introduction

I’m Danielle (they/she), an LGBTQ+ therapist offering trauma-informed, affirming therapy for teens (14+) and adults. I support clients navigating identity exploration, religious trauma, major life transitions, relationship challenges, and severe and persistent mental health concerns, including bipolar disorder, psychosis, and schizophrenia. I recognize how family, culture, and larger systems can shape our identities, relationships, and well-being. Together, we can make sense of what you’re carrying, develop meaningful ways to cope, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My hope is to create a warm, grounded space where you can feel genuinely heard, explore difficult questions, and build a life that feels more authentic and aligned. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
