She has been providing compassionate, evidence-based care at Acuity Counselling and Therapy since 2019. Danielle brings extensive experience in the fields of mental health and addiction, including crisis intervention, stabilization, and emergency mental health services. Danielle specializes in working with individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and provides individual Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills training. She believes DBT can be empowering for anyone seeking to improve emotional regulation, mood, and self-worth—not only those with a formal diagnosis. Her approach emphasizes building practical skills that support resilience and personal growth. Danielle has a strong clinical interest in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and holds certification in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. She has completed specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with focused applications for both trauma and grief. In addition, she has training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and incorporates self-compassion practices into her work to support emotional healing and personal insight. Danielle’s practice is grounded in a commitment to evidence-based care, tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and strives to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive therapeutic space for individuals of all identities and backgrounds. Her work is collaborative and strengths-based, supporting clients in navigating challenges and building lives aligned with their values.
