AVAILABLE FOR NEW CLIENTS
INCLUDING AFTER HOURS
Hi, I’m Dani, a registered psychologist and clinical registrar. My pronouns are she/her.
I work with couples+ who are seeking support for relational difficulties including communication, unhelpful patterns, transitions, infidelity, separation, trauma experiences, intimacy, strengthening trust, and navigating conflict.
My approach is empathic, curious, non-judgmental, supportive and collaborative. I like to incorporate humour and playfulness into sessions, and support couples+ to strengthen their playfulness in their relationship.
I am passionate about supporting couples+ in relationship therapy, and will walk alongside their journey to strengthen the relationship.
I am an LGBTIQA+ ally and welcome people in all relationships and intersectionalities. I offer in person and Telehealth appointments on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I am able to accommodate business and after hours.
