Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, and the owner and founder of Woodstar Counselling and Consulting in Sault Ste. Marie. I’m also a mom of three, and someone who has navigated my own journey through divorce and single parenthood — experiences that have deepened my empathy for the messiness and resilience that life can ask of us.

I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach, drawing mainly on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, along with CBT, DBT, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy when helpful. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families, and I also offer supervision and consultation to student therapists and other clinicians.

I believe the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important factors in successful counselling. I aim to bring warmth, curiosity, and a genuine passion for helping people find hope, healing, and a path toward a more fulfilling life.
