Danielle has a therapy dog named Roo who has been working with her for 5 years.
One of Danielle's greatest passions is supporting first responder families, a community that often faces unique challenges and trauma. With specialized training in trauma-informed therapy, she is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of these experiences and provide a safe space for healing and growth.
Whether working with students, first responder families, or individuals from all walks of life, Danielle's approach is grounded in kindness, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others reach their full potential. Her warm and compassionate nature creates an environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey towards personal growth and well-being.
Danielle has been integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her counselling practice for the past two years. After completing comprehensive CBT training at the doctoral level, she finds that this evidence-based approach resonates with many of her clients. In addition to CBT, some of the other therapeutic approaches Danielle regularly uses in her practice include canine-assisted therapy, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and strengths-based therapy. Danielle finds that incorporating techniques from multiple modalities allows her to provide customized care based on each client's unique needs and goals. She has a Canine-Assisted Intervention Specialist certificate from the University of Denver, and is passionate about animal-assisted therapy. Roo’s work includes supporting students in schools and visiting seniors centres to provide emotional support.
