Her communication style is shaped by empathy, honesty, and kindness. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental, accepting environment where strengths are recognized and practical steps toward well-being are taken. As a licensed social worker, Danielle aims to offer thoughtful, respectful care that honors each person’s unique experience.
