Hi there, I'm a play therapist who uses art, sandtray, pretend play, and board games to help kids and teens cope with a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, family conflict and trauma. I know that therapy can be intimidating, especially for kids. That's why I make it my goal to create a safe and fun space where kids can feel comfortable expressing themselves. I believe that play is a powerful way to heal, and I use it to help kids explore their emotions, learn new coping skills, and build self-confidence. If you're looking for a therapist who can help your child or teen through a difficult time, I'd be honored to talk to you. I'm here to listen, support, and guide your child on their journey to healing. If you're interested in learning more about play therapy, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions.

Hi parents! I’m a in-home behavioral therapist for toddlers and preschoolers who are twice-exceptional (gifted in any realm combined with learning difference/s i.e. adhd, ASD, sensory processing sensitivity). I offer in school support and observations as well as around the clock parent and educator coaching to ensure consistent success in nourishing self-esteem, self-advocacy, and enrichment. I myself am twice-exceptional and grew up oscillating between gifted and adhd labels so deeply understand the confusion and stress this creates for both parent and child. I am passionate about meeting the unique emotional and learning needs of this population and strongly believe in intervening as early as possible to set these change makers up for a lifetime of success. 

I have over 7 years of experience in the mental health field working in areas of crisis mental health, at-risk youth, and abuse/trauma and have 4 years of clinical experiences in counseling: children, adolescents, adults and in both individual and group settings. I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and teletherapy sessions.

Hello. Sometimes it's hard to reach out for assistance. I get that. So let's meet and figure out a plan to feel better. We can do this in person or virtually. I want to help. My schedule varies. And my office is in NW Fresno. Thank you...

Hi, I'm glad you're here. The choice to start therapy isn't easy, but you are not alone on this journey. We live in a cyclical world where everything ebbs and flows and at some point in our lives, we may feel stuck or face certain challenges. We will encounter obstacles, conflicts, painful transitions, grief and loss or a sense of helplessness. As a result, we may feel alone, disconnected, angry, anxious, misunderstood and confused. In a safe environment of warmth, acceptance and compassion, I will work with you to explore and confront the emotional and interpersonal challenges that are bringing you pain or holding you back. By uncovering the obstacles holding you back, you can learn to make better choices, turn goals into realities, and find a greater sense of peace, purpose and freedom. I am passionate about helping people create and maintain deeper connections, with self and others while on their path to healing. I specialize in working with adults and couples on a wide array of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, divorce, infidelity, trauma, body image, identity and self-esteem.  While I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work, both traditional and modern neuroscience and evidence-based, I practice through a holistic lens and a mindful perspective integrating the mind, body and spirit connection.  I received my Master degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage Family Therapy and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UCLA. In addition, I received extensive training on mindfulness, cultural competency, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and am currently in process of obtaining a Clinical Trauma Professional Certification.  

“Our daily lives can be challenging, but there are so many ways and opportunities for us to heal and grow. With an open mind and open heart, I seek to provide guidance to my clients, as they navigate through the process of self-discovery and resolution. By creating a space of empowerment, ambition, and confidence for my clients.” Danielle earned an undergraduate degree from Indiana University and an MSW from NYU. Her experiences at NYU inspired many areas of interest, including trauma/crisis therapy for adolescents and adults. Danielle has worked closely as a case manager for incarcerated juveniles/young adults, offering legal advocacy, future planning sessions, and social emotional support through correspondence. Danielle is currently working as a full-time high school social worker, and has training in harassment, bullying, discrimination prevention and intervention in schools. She also has her Professional Educators Licensure in the state of Illinois as well as her Professional Educators Certificate in the state of New York. Danielle believes that therapy must be individually crafted, and there is not a “one size fits all” approach. We each walk are own unique path, and sometimes we need support. Being different is an integral part of human life. In therapy, Danielle creates a warm and supportive environment, and incorporates psychotherapeutic training, and mindfulness into treatment plans. Her goal is to provide her clients the tools/techniques to help them progress and move forward in life.

Hello! I'm excited to share a bit about myself. With a background as both a Registered Nurse and a Paramedic, I bring a holistic approach to healthcare.

Throughout, my aim has been to ensure everyone I encounter feels safe, informed, and cared for. I believe in open communication and teamwork as the foundation of excellent healthcare. I'm here to provide compassionate, reliable, and effective care, always putting the patient first.
