My name is Danielle and I am an EMDRIA certified therapist and EMDRIA approved consultant in training. I am a Registered Social Worker and practicing psychotherapist. I have been working with children, families, and adults for 19 years and in 2024 decided to open Belonginc. Counselling and Consulting.

Belonging Counselling and Consulting is a special place as it is born from the belief that every person is uniquely valued, accepted, seen, and heard. It is a space where everyone belongs and a space where everyone can experience healing even if in small ways and even if it doesn’t seem possible.

I work with humans across the life-span and bring an attachment-informed, curious, authentic, and compassionate approach to my practice. While EMDR and “bottom up”, trauma informed approaches are my jam, I adapt my practice and modality to fit your situation and unique needs. Also, you may have seen, heard, and read things about EMDR online, on tv, or from friends or family. Much of what you have heard may be true…but did you know that EMDR is a creative, client-centered, and adaptive approach where every single session is unique and different? This is because of the beauty of neuroplasticity. Your brain is leading the way and making it’s own unique changes during each and every session? Yes, it may be hard to believe…BUT…it’s true.

I have experience and enjoy working with: trauma and adversity, adoption, PTSD and CPTSD, Anxiety, Occupational stress, Moral Injury, OCD, Phobias, Relationship Challenges, Life changes, Neurodivergence, Acute Stress and others.

I am an EMDRIA approved Consultant in Training with 5 years of experience practicing specifically with EMDR, and many more years of experience working with those affected by trauma, adversity, and other life challenges.

I decided to work toward becoming an EMDR consultant after becoming certified in EMDR and realizing my desire to pass along the beautiful gift of empowered healing that is EMDR to as many people as possible. The best way to do this, in my view, is to support clinicians and to build a learning community where every therapist can experience a sense of support, acceptance, and belonging.

The work that YOU do REALLY DOES MATTER.

During my social work career, I have worked extensively with children, families, and adults, affected by life’s worst experiences and have had the honor of witnessing incredible resilience, healing, and growth. Humans are beautiful.

As an EMDR consultant I want to help you in your unique journey with this life changing approach.

During my EMDR practice, I have had a special interest in working with attachment disruptions and relationally-based trauma, trauma experienced through combat and moral injury, occupational stress injuries (first responders), and child and adult survivors of childhood maltreatment. I have worked extensively with dissociative disorders in children and adults.

I also really enjoy working with anxiety, phobias, and panic disorders as well as OCD.

I am creative, compassionate, and authentic in my approach to consultation, and want you to feel seen, heard, and valued during our learning journey together. I can’t wait to meet you.
