Now accepting new clients, evening appointments Available! EMDR trained and trauma informed!  

 Congratulations on taking the first step in order to heal and improve your quality of life. My
deepest passion is to utilize my experience and education to assist others with healing so that they can truly learn how to live and not just exist in life. We all suffer from different forms of trauma, and if left unaddressed it could negatively impact the quality of our lives and relationships. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families of all different races and ethnicities.

In order to assist my clients with the healing process; I provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment so that the healing process can begin. I offer evening and weekend appointments in order to further support the clients.

My hope is for each client to be able to participate in Psychotherapy in order to address the difficulties which is preventing them from being “whole.” I work hard to maintain the client-therapist working relationship in order to show the clients their importance and value while maintaining professional boundaries. My goal is to meet the clients where they are in order to assist them with the healing process, accepting of themselves, connecting them with others, and God.

Danielle Hind is a biofeedback Technician who specializes in the L.I.F.E  System. She has chosen the L.I.F.E System as her main biofeedback device because of the training quality and the genuine belief of its community users to help each patients body heal naturally. The L.I.F.E System allows Danielle to do over 7000+ frequency test on her patients, more then any other biofeedback product on the market. Her mission is to help her patients heal emotionally, physically and spiritually by identifying and relieving stressors in the body, so the patients body can heal naturally.  A patients body is 40-60% exposed to a disease once they begin to have symptoms. Danielle wholeheartedly believes that stress is the precursor to all disease and therefore, if she can create an environment  where healing can take place and the L.I.F.E System can work with the body to relax muscles, release tensions, regulate anxiety, ADD,ADHD and balance stressors, the body can begin to heal itself. She loves people and loves to hear their individual stories and facilitate an environment where each patients body is allowed to respond to biofeedback and balance out acute and chronic stress potentials.
