Danielle (she/her/hers) is a licensed independent social worker working out of the West Des Moines location both in person and via telehealth. She utilizes multiple therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Strengths-Based Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Danielle has worked with individuals ranging from 7 years of age into adulthood. Most recently, she was a therapist with a nonprofit agency in Saint Louis, Missouri working with clients aged 15 to 24 experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns.

Danielle believes that the key to a positive therapeutic experience is creating a space where clients feel that their knowledge of their lives, their strengths, and their struggles is valued and heard without judgment. While therapy is often utilized at a time of crisis, it can also be a space to understand yourself on a deeper level and gain skills to help reduce the intensity or frequency of future crises. Danielle will work with you to explore the beliefs you hold about yourself, others, or the world and how these beliefs impact different areas of your life. By combining her professional knowledge and clinical skills with your understanding of yourself, Danielle hopes to support you in feeling empowered to believe in, create, and maintain positive changes in your life.
