No one gives us humans an operating manual or instruction book for how to deal with tough situations. I am here to guide you in a non-judgmental way through the therapeutic process. My name is pronounced "Dah-NEE-ka" and I live in the Northern Virginia area of Metro Washington DC. I was born and raised in Massachusetts and I am a New England girl at heart. I live with my husband of 24 years, my 21 yo "human" daughter, our 19 yo "Bonus Daughter" (friend of my daughter's whose family left the area...
I believe that embracing your true, authentic self is the product of healing the wounds and traumas of the past. Anxiety and trauma present themselves as memories that intrude while at school or work, negative thoughts towards yourself or others, nightmares that recur, stomach aches and headaches, and the feelings of guilt, shame, anger, and sadness. Anxiety and trauma symptoms can feel inescapable, and it can feel as though you are in quick sand, sinking deeper each day. As the mind ...
Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing relationship struggles with family members or friends? Life is not for the faint of heart, is it?

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my counseling approach involves listening to my clients' stories, gaining an understanding of their goals, and collaborat...

My service is the work of the soul. My work and approach are characterized by intuition, compassion, optimism and collaborative exploration, and a re...
MySpectrum: A Practice, Not a Platform With the onset of COVID-19 and the booming world of virtual options for many services, including therapy, it is hard to tell what’s behind the scenes.

You might even choose one of these options and find that the process is smooth to get you scheduled. It could even be that you are connected with a Therapist who fits you like a glove. That would be ide...

Grief can make us feel lost and confused, but we can feel better. People typically think grief and loss are solely about losing a loved one. But we endure ambiguous losses more often than acknowledged. It can occur through experiences such as depression, anxiety, a relationship break-up, pandemics, or other life events. Although the emotions might seem to be everlasting, healing is achievable. I believe everyone needs support from others at some point in their lives. That does not mean they are ...

My approach is relaxed and individualized and I like to use humor where appropriate. I love working with women who may look like they have their shit together from a distance, but behind the mask they wear for others, they are filled with self-doubt, worry, and are chronic over-thinkers. They have this nagging feeling that they're not good enough and too often compare themselves to the people around them. They're not great with personal boundaries and would rather disappoint themselves than o...
