about danelle

I began Counseling in 2004 as a Middle School Counselor. I worked with this age group for nine years and will forever be grateful for the lessons learned with this high energy and loving age group. It was here where I honed my skills of mediation, community resourcing, humor, and creativity.

In 2013 I moved to working in a High School as a School Counselor and put my private practice on hold in 2015 for a couple years to focus on being a new mom. I worked in the High School Setting from 2013-2018. It is here where my care and respect for educators and the immense amount of stress they are under grew, and I developed a Yoga and Mindfulness: Wellness Tools for Educators course. My passion to support educators well-being and wellness will forever be a passion and part of my practice.

During my time as a middle school counselor I was introduced to Yoga Calm® and began teaching it as part of my group counseling work and in partnership with the health class. That is when I began to really feel like I was finding my niche in counseling with a mind body approach to healing, growth, and change. I witnessed my students finding the confidence and calm to address the thoughts that weren’t serving them and cope with challenges in their lives they didn’t have control over.

I opened my private practice in 2010 while still working in the schools and worked with families and individuals. I offered Yoga Calm® to the youth and families I worked with in my practice.

In 2018 I made the difficult and exciting decision to leave my work in schools and focus fully on pursuing my passion of combining mindfulness, yoga, and self-compassion practices in a private practice counseling setting. I also had the honor and pleasure to continue my training with the creators of Yoga Calm® and earned my RYT-200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) certification with them in June 2017.

In 2019 life presented our family an opportunity and off to Colorado we moved! It is here where I returned to my roots of School Counseling and worked in Douglas County Schools as a School Counselor for a year and opened my private practice in Lone Tree.

I moved my practice to Parker, CO in 2020. Currently in my practice I work predominantly with pre-teens, teens, and adults. I pull mostly from my experience and my training in mindfulness, yoga and DBT skills training. I love reading and staying up on the research of relationships, stress, anxiety, yoga, depression, self-compassion, and mindfulness. I’m excited by all the hope in the research and bring this with me to my practice.
