Danielle Lake

Hi, I'm Danielle — a therapist, relationship nerd, and unapologetic tree hugger who always has at least one home project going (even if it takes me three tries to get it right). Life is messy, relationships are complicated, and trying to hold everything together while also being a functioning human is a lot. Therapy gives you a place where you don't have to pretend everything is fine. We can sit with the real stuff, the awkward stuff, the "is this normal?" moments, and sort through it together. Whether you're coming in with something specific or just feeling a bit off, we'll explore what's happening and what meaningful change could look like for you. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, identity exploration, and major life transitions. I have a special passion for sex and relational therapy, and frequently support couples, adult male-identified clients, and blended family systems. I love helping people deepen intimacy, strengthen communication, understand themselves, and feel more at home in themselves and their relationships. My approach is holistic and rooted in the belief that our emotional and physical experiences are deeply connected. Together we might explore how emotions show up in the body, how the nervous system responds to stress, or how to reconnect with parts of yourself that feel out of sync. I draw from Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Adlerian theory to guide our work in a way that fits your unique needs. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am committed to creating an inclusive and affirming space for all identities, backgrounds, and relationship structures. Your full self is not only welcome here — it is honored. Outside of the therapy room, I'm usually out in nature, planning my next travel adventure, or knee-deep in a home project that may or may not have required more YouTube tutorials than I'd like to admit. I offer a free 30 minute consultation so you can get a sense of what working together might feel like. If you're ready to start untangling what has been feeling heavy, I feel honored to be a part of your journey.
