Hi, I’m Danielle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’m passionate about helping people find healing, balance, and growth through life’s challenges.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Stockton University in 2016 and went on to complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Fordham University’s Advanced Standing Clinical Track in 2017. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals and families across many settings including hospice care, services for the unhoused population, psychiatric hospitals, and, in the most recent years, in public schools as part of the Child Study Team writing IEPs and providing counseling.
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how emotional, environmental, and social factors impact well-being. In my practice, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story and goals.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life transitions, I’m here to work alongside you as you build resilience and rediscover your sense of self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families thrive. I have extensive experience supporting diverse communities across various mental health settings and take pride in creating safe, compassionate spaces for healing and growth. Known for being a collaborative team member with strong organizational skills, I bring a background in individual and group counseling, community outreach, case management, advocacy, and crisis intervention.
My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and strengths-based, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. I integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies, while also encouraging self-care, balance, and personal growth beyond the therapy space. I value cultural responsiveness and view each person through a lens of resilience and possibility.
I’m passionate about empowering others to reach their fullest potential through empathy, connection, and effective, evidence-based support.
