About Me

Hi, I'm Danielle (she/her)

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor serving as the owner and sole practitioner at Inner Illuminations Counseling and Wellness. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment where you feel safe, understood, and supported unconditionally.

As a clinician I utilize a holistic approach to treatment, incorporating talk therapy along with mindfulness and somatic techniques. Some examples of therapy modalities I may use in our time together include Humanistic or Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Therapy. Together we will decide what works best for you.

My interests/hobbies

I enjoy exploring in nature, spending time with my pets, creating arts/crafts, curating a plant collection, and baking new recipes.

Education and Experience

Eastern Illinois University

Bachelor of Arts: Psychology

Master of Science: Clinical Mental Health Counseling

Experience in the Field

I have 8+ years of experience working in the mental health field and have worked with a wide variety of clients. Throughout graduate school and for several years after I worked at a local community mental health center. I met with individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families, but had a primary focus of working with clients who suffered from severe and persistent mental health struggles. I then transitioned into a private practice setting, where I was able to continue growing as a clinician and had the opportunity to work in an environment promoting an integrative approach to health.

About Inner Illuminations

The luna moth serves as the symbol for Inner Illuminations Counseling and Wellness, acting as a visual representation of the company values and mission. Luna moths are recognized as symbols of strength, wisdom, hope, and self-discovery. They serve as reminders that life is full of transformation, and that each phase of life brings new opportunities for growth and change. With their luminous presence the luna moth acts as a guide through dark times, illuminates the importance of inner reflection, and embodies the principles of the therapeutic process.

It is my hope that through our work together, you will find the healing, growth, and transformation you seek; you will connect with yourself, accepting challenges that arise and using your inner wisdom to guide you.
