Parenting Support & Therapy

What if you could feel more confident in how you respond to your child—even in the hard moments?

Parenting is deeply meaningful, and really hard.

You love your child fiercely and still find yourself overwhelmed, frustrated, unsure, or questioning whether you’re getting it right. With increasing expectations, constant information, and an endless stream of parenting advice, it can be difficult to know what to listen to, what to let go of, and how to trust yourself.

You don’t need to become a perfect parent. My goal is to help you find your center again, reconnect with who you are and the values you want to bring to your parenting, and feel more confident in how you respond to your child.

I bring together my experience as a school counselor, therapist, and parent myself, along with a healthy dose of relatable humor about just how hard and meaningful parenting can be.

Looking beneath the behavior

I believe discipline is about teaching, not simply correcting behavior. When children struggle or have challenging behaviors, there is often a skill, need, developmental factor, or emotion underneath the behavior that deserves our attention.

Together, we can look beneath the behavior, understand what may be driving the struggle, and find ways to respond that are both compassionate and effective. We can explore how to set boundaries and provide structure while also strengthening your connection with your child.

We may also explore how your own experiences growing up influence the way you respond as a parent. With greater awareness and compassion, you can begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you and create new ways of responding.

My work is informed by attachment- and relationship-based approaches and the work of parenting educators and clinicians such as Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Becky Kennedy.

Most importantly, I want parenting support and therapy to be a place where you can take a breath, sort through the noise, and trust yourself again.

You already know your child better than anyone. Together, we can find your footing and develop a compass for how you want to show up, parenting from a place of connection rather than fear.

Boundaries Through Connection: Raising Tweens and Teens Who Trust Their Own Voice

The more we learn as parents, and the more we’re inundated with information online, the easier it is to fall into a fear-based or anxious parenting approach. What I’ve learned, both as a mom and as a counselor in schools and private practice, is that this doesn’t empower our tweens and teens. It often leads...

To The Anxious Moms Out There, I See You!

In my work as a therapist, my approach honors each person’s story and each person’s why, instead of jumping to labels and judgments. And while this is easy to talk about, I know first-hand how hard it is to practice as an anxious mom. For those anxious moms out there: we gotta get a grip...

Trust the Parent You Already Are

As a parent and mental health professional, I’m often asked for advice on parenting. And I know in anxious, overwhelming moments as a parent I’m googling, listening to podcasts, and searching for books myself. It makes sense, we care deeply and want to get it “right“. And is there such a thing as getting it...

“When I found Danelle, I was looking for someone who understood and appreciated this connection between our minds and bodies. And because the vulnerability was not something I was comfortable with, who would be open to using body movement to talk about deeper topics. We would talk first, then get into gentle movement, then when I was in a relaxed position, she would lead me through a mediation. I truly feel like I’m experiencing a deeper connection and a growing love for myself because I took this journey with my whole self.”
