Hi, I'm Danna. Thanks for being here! It has been my honor to support a diverse and growing client base for over 9 years as a Licensed Counselor and Psychotherapist. I received a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling / Art Therapy from Antioch University many years after I completed a Bachelor's of Fine Art at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and moved into my early career working at nonprofits and public art programs. My interest in therapy grew out of observing the potential of creative process and collaborative approaches to care. While my training in art psychotherapy and expressive modalities can be uniquely helpful at times, there is no requirement and zero skill, experience, or even interest in art is necessary for clients. I have offered counseling services to people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing challenging events, symptoms, and struggles in life. From community health-centers and nursing homes to a prison and an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years. This invaluable learning guides my practice today, while I tailor each session to the evolving needs and aspirations of the person in front of me. Working from a perspective that is client-centered and relational in nature, I provide therapy informed by what is happening in my client's life, goals we establish together and experiences in the moment. I believe a customized, transparent therapeutic process helps build trust, healthy communication and self-awareness. My style is warm, accepting, and straightforward. By expanding choices and re-establishing trust throughout, I encourage clients to identify what works for them and advance a sustainable, empowering framework we co-create over time. I appreciate the chance to support your own definition of mental health and a greater sense of well-being in life. Your questions and concerns are important. so please feel free to share them. If working with me seems like a good fit, I look forward to hearing from you!

I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world by helping others when I was 12 years old. When one of my close friends lost her mother after battling cancer at the age of 15, I thought: “I wish I had the right words to comfort her.” This prompted me to choose to become a counselor. I have learned that what is most important when someone is hurting is to show up. To really be there for them. To hear their story. To listen and to understand what they are going through. I have learned that being vulnerable makes us strong and connects us to each other. In sessions, I will share when I can relate to an issue or situation and help my clients delve deeper into where their feelings, thoughts or behaviors are coming from to get to the root of the problems. I have worked with clients on identifying patterns in their life and finding ways to break negative cycles by changing their thoughts and perspectives so that changed emotions and behaviors will take place. So that healing can happen. I believe healing is possible. I believe we can unlock our abilities and potential by understanding ourselves, our past and our motives and breaking down the barriers of fear, pain and lies that others told us and we told ourselves for years. Change is possible. Therapy can be scary and takes hard work and courage. But with support and commitment we can change our lives for the better and have the peace and love our hearts ache for in life. We need each other. We don’t have to do life alone. I specialize in working with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship issues and grief and loss. I work with clients to empower and inspire them to believe in themselves, love themselves and to shine their light in this world. We are all valuable and we all deserve to have a healthy, happy and good quality of life. We all need and deserve to be loved. Helping others brings me joy. I am happy to walk alongside you to help you reach your goals and shine your light brightly.
