GET TO KNOW DANI

My psychotherapy practiced started in community-based not-for-profits. I worked with unhoused folks in shelters and street-based outreach. I worked in transition houses. I held multiple shift work jobs at a time. What I took away from those experiences is still instrumental in my practice - holding space, empathy and compassion for the challenges we all find ourselves in. I have since grown in my practice and with much training, professional development and personal growth have developed a strong foundation from which I offer psychotherapy. I hold a Bachelor in Social Sciences from the University of Ottawa and Masters in Social Work from Carleton University. I offer a strengths-based, person-centered approach focused on addressing the goals each individual brings into the therapy room. There is no one size fits all, we will work together to figure out the approaches that best meet your needs. I specialize in insomnia, nightmares, anxiety including phobias, and challenges navigating life stressors like grief and loss, relationship disruption and transitions. My approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy.  I am CACBT-certified and am also a certified Prolonged Exposure Therapist and Consultant, I offer clinical consultation for clinicians learning or practicing PE. I have specific training and experience and a real love for working with family members of CAF members, Veterans and first responders.
