Hi, I'm Dani.

I empower you to work through the thoughts and behaviors that block you from being your authentic self, which disrupts meaningful connections. I’ll guide you in exploring your relationship dynamics, by getting curious about your behavior patterns, such as attachment styles and codependency. We'll identify tangible changes that include refining communication styles, skills to increase trust, and establishing healthy boundaries.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over a decade of experience specializing in addictions. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, and my Master’s degree at the University of Houston.

While in graduate school, I interned with The Daring Way™ where I was trained in shame resilience theory based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, and later became a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator.

Let's connect!

Relationship Issues

Are you tired of getting into the same conflict with your partner over and over again? Or maybe you’re wondering why your relationships never seem to work out. I can help you dig into your relational patterns and get to the core of what’s going on. We will explore your attachment style, past trauma, or what else might be getting in the way of the love you desire.

Codependency

When your behaviors and actions are influenced by your partner to the point you start to ignore your own needs, it’s an indicator that there are some codependent patterns in your relationship dynamic. This can show up through hyper-independence, compliance, control, judging yourself harshly, or not asserting yourself. It’s important to recognize these patterns because they can become a barrier to developing healthy relationships, or getting what you need.

The Daring Way™

The fear that we might not belong provokes feelings of shame, which often results in us suppressing our own needs to avoid rejection or abandonment. This can lead to us losing our authenticity and feeling unappreciated or undervalued along the way. As a Certified Daring Way™facilitator, I use a curriculum based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown to help you work through your shame so that you can foster more compassion and connection with yourself and others. The hope is that this work will empower you to feel worthy and courageous enough to ask for what you need in your relationships.

You’re good enough the way you are.
Stop sacrificing yourself to gain the love and approval of others and
learn how to attract the people that meet your needs and value your authenticity.
