Couples Therapy & Trauma Therapy in Pasadena, CA

Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist • EMDR Therapist
LICENSED MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST #152067


I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in painful relational patterns, caught in the same conflicts, the same distance, and ready for things to finally feel different.

Together, we slow down those patterns, understand the deeper emotional dynamics driving them, and begin creating the conditions for something new to emerge.

WHAT I HELP WITH

Relationship Repair
& Conflict Patterns

Recurring arguments, emotional distance, rupture repair, and rebuilding trust after betrayal.

& Nervous System Healing

Attachment wounds, C-PTSD, relational trauma, and the lasting impact of early experiences.

Sexuality, Identity
& Relationship Structures

Sexual identity, intimacy concerns, and consensual non-monogamous relationships.

MY APPROACH

Danielle is certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and uses EFT as her primary framework for relationships, couples, families and individuals. EFT helps clients explore and organize their emotions, behaviors, thoughts and attachment needs, promoting different relational experiences to foster deeper connections and understanding.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed therapy that helps clients process and heal from traumatic memories, beliefs, sensations, and experiences.
IFS-Informed & Ego States Parts Work
Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work, including ego states and the Structural Dissociation Model, recognize that individuals have multiple 'parts' formed through protective strategies and mechanisms.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy provides a space to deconstruct and reauthor personal stories and narratives. It values you as the expert of your own experience and challenges the idea of absolute or objective truths.
