About Danielle

I began my career in healthcare as an Occupational Therapist (OT), and I’ve worked in hospitals, private clinics, and community practice, supporting people with a broad range of mental and physical health concerns. With my background in OT, I bring an added layer of understanding and empathy to the counselling room. My extra training and experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of health, and a wide variety of skills, tools, and resources, which I strongly believe have made me a more skilled and well-rounded therapist. While I continue to enjoy working in Occupational Therapy part time, my current focus is providing counselling and psychotherapy services.

In terms of style, I value a flexible and collaborative approach to therapy. Each person who comes to therapy is unique and deserves an approach designed to fit their personality, concerns, and goals. As a therapist my job is to have the tools, knowledge, and experience to help you. I endeavour to create a safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story, enabling you to focus on becoming your best self.
In order to offer an integrative and flexible approach I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches: Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
