About Danika
Welcome. Reaching out for support can feel like a vulnerable first step, and I’m glad you’re here.
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 15 years of experience supporting adults (18+) through trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and periods of overwhelm. My approach is grounded in attachment theory, Polyvagal Theory, somatic therapy, and EMDR.
You may find yourself reacting in ways that don’t make sense to you. Perhaps you feel stuck in the same patterns, struggle to trust yourself in relationships, or notice that past experiences continue to affect your present-day life despite your best efforts to move forward.
Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion while building a greater understanding of your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to help you move beyond simply coping and toward feeling more connected, grounded, and resilient in your daily life.
In addition to traditional weekly therapy, I also offer extended EMDR sessions and EMDR Intensives for clients seeking a more focused approach to trauma processing and healing.
I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my approach. If you think we may be a good fit, I would be happy to connect for a complimentary 15-minute consultation.
