Rooted in authenticity. Growing through change.
Growth isn’t always neat or linear. I offer a grounded, compassionate space to navigate life’s transitions with honesty and self-compassion.
Services
-
I specialize in working with parents — including parents of neurodiverse children — as well as neurodiverse adults and parents who are navigating their own unique wiring while raising little (or not-so-little) humans.
Individual therapy is a space for you — not your partner, not your family, not your workplace. Just you.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, relationship patterns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a steady place to slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together, we’ll explore your nervous system, your coping strategies, and the patterns that have shaped how you move through the world.
I work collaboratively and believe deeply that you are the expert on your own experience. My role is not to prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution, but to help you discover what regulation, boundaries, connection, and growth look like for you. We’ll experiment with tools that fit your wiring, your values, and your real life.
My background in expressive and play-based approaches also means we may use creativity, curiosity, and even humor as part of the process. Growth doesn’t have to feel clinical or rigid. It can feel alive.
This is a space to reconnect with yourself and build sustainable mental health from the inside out.

Parenting can be beautiful — and relentlessly demanding.
Individual therapy for parents is a space to untangle the emotional weight you carry while raising children. Whether you’re navigating overwhelm, guilt, sensory overload, partnership stress, identity shifts, or the unique layers of parenting a neurodiverse child, you deserve support that centers you.
Together, we’ll look at your regulation patterns, your triggers, and the stories you hold about what “good parenting” should look like. We’ll focus on helping you feel more grounded, intentional, and connected — not perfect.
If you are a neurodiverse parent or raising a neurodiverse child, we’ll approach your work with nuance and respect for how different brains process the world. Advocacy, burnout, and self-compassion are often part of the conversation.
My lens is collaborative and empowering. I won’t simply tell you what to do. Instead, we’ll identify what works for your nervous system and your family dynamics so you can parent from a place of steadiness rather than survival.
When parents feel regulated and supported, the whole family system shifts.
Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Dani.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering virtual individual therapy for adults 24 and up across California. I specialize in working with parents — including parents of neurodiverse children — as well as neurodiverse adults and parents who are navigating their own unique wiring while raising little (or not-so-little) humans.
Parenting can stretch you in ways nothing else does. It can surface old wounds, sensory overwhelm, relationship strain, identity shifts, and the quiet question: Am I doing this right? If you’re raising a neurodiverse child, the layers can feel even more complex — advocating in systems, managing burnout, and trying to support your child without losing yourself in the process.
You don’t need another expert telling you what you “should” do.
You need space to think, feel, regulate, and reconnect with what works for you.
My Approach
My work is collaborative and strengths-based. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all formula for mental health. Together, we’ll explore your nervous system, your patterns, your values, and your lived experience — and from there, we’ll experiment with tools that actually fit your life.
My role isn’t to hand you a rigid blueprint. It’s to empower you to understand yourself deeply enough that you can make informed, aligned choices about your regulation, your parenting, and your overall well-being.
I have a strong background in play therapy and expressive approaches, and that lens deeply informs how I work — even with adults. Play isn’t just for children. Play is how we experiment, process, integrate, and reconnect with joy. For parents especially, reclaiming play can be transformative. It softens perfectionism, strengthens connection with your child, and reminds you that growth doesn’t have to be all grit and grind.
When adults allow themselves to play — creatively, physically, relationally — nervous systems shift. Possibility opens.
Beyond the Therapy Room
Outside of my work, I dance, sing, climb, and do improv. Movement and creativity are not just hobbies for me — they’re regulation tools. They’re reminders that being human is meant to include expression, risk, laughter, and embodiment.
That lived experience shapes how I show up in therapy. I understand what it means to stretch into something new, to feel awkward, to build strength over time, and to find grounding through the body.
If You’re Here…
You might be feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, disconnected, or unsure of who you are in this season of life. You might be carrying the invisible load of parenting, partnership, or simply being the “capable one.” You might be neurodiverse and tired of systems that weren’t built for your brain.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Therapy with me is a space where we slow down, get curious, and build sustainable ways of regulating and relating — to your children, your partner, and yourself.
If this resonates, I’d be honored to support you.
