About Danica

My path to becoming a therapist began with my work alongside children and families across both classroom and clinical settings. Over the past six years, I’ve seen just how unique each person’s inner world can be—what supports one individual may not resonate for another. I came to understand that compassionate therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about honoring the specific experiences, identities, and circumstances that shape each person. I bring that belief into every session, working collaboratively with clients to identify what meaningful, sustainable change looks like for them.

I ground my work in a Person-Centered approach, which means I view you as the expert on your life. My role is to offer support, perspective, and tools as you move toward your goals. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices to support a more connected, holistic experience in therapy. For me, it’s about creating a space where your needs, values, and voice guide the process—and where healing can unfold in its own time and shape.

I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, adolescents, young adults, and parents navigating complex transitions. Many of the clients I work with are exploring their relationships, managing stress, deepening self-awareness, or learning how to reconnect with their bodies. Whether you're working through anxiety, relational dynamics, or just feeling stuck, I hold space with warmth and curiosity.

Outside of therapy, I love spending time near the coast, diving into creative projects, and tending to my houseplants. My tuxedo cat keeps me company through it all—and music is a constant in my life, whether I’m listening, playing, or at a live show.
