Meet Dani

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I’ve dedicated nearly a decade to the practice of psychotherapy. I’m thoroughly trained in evidence-based practices, with a passion for treating anxiety, OCD, and prenatal/postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. My background includes experience and knowledge in treating:

  • Anxiety and mood disorders

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Prenatal and Postpartum Mood/Anxiety Disorders

  • Burnout

  • Grief and Loss

  • Life Transitions

  • Relationship Stress and Concerns

  • Career Issues and Changes

  • Panic and Phobias

An integrative approach

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Every client has different experiences, symptoms, and goals. I pull from various areas of my training, adapting to each individual I work with. Our work together will pull from the following therapeutic modalities:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

  • Mindfulness

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

A bit more about me.

I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Human & Organizational Development, and Child Development. I love learning about how people grow, change, and function.

After working as a Management Consultant for four years, I knew I wanted to enact change at the individual level. So I moved to Chicago and went back to school to become a therapist. I studied at the University of Chicago’s School of Social Work, learning from thought leaders in the area.

I’ve now been working as an individual therapist for almost a decade. I love getting to know people, their ins and outs, what makes them tick- and helping them identify what’s working, and what’s not. I get so much fulfillment and joy out of what I do.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me at a playground with my kids, playing fetch with my dog, or watching a murder mystery doc on the couch to unwind.
