Hi I’m Dani and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Clinical Director at Skylark Counselling! I have worked in the counselling field for over a decade and have had the pleasure of gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of topics, such as ADHD, substance use, relationships, eating disorders, anxiety/depression, and various traumas. My clients in the past have described me as an open, genuine counsellor who is honest and to-the-point. I like to approach challenges from a variety of different perspectives to work collaboratively with my clients towards solutions-focused goals.
My clinical experience includes working for a local health authority as a concurrent disorders clinician, working as a clinical consultant to enhance clinical documentation systems, and working in India conducting couples therapy. I have also taught Master’s level classes on anger management, trauma, and counselling skills, and I continuously take classes myself—I love learning! I’ve received my EMDR certificate, Critical Incident Stress Management certificate, and Childhood Sexual Abuse Certificate from the Justice Institute of BC, as well as completing DBT training, Sensory Motor classes, and others. I also offer clinical supervision for other Registered Clinical Counsellors practicing in the field.
One thing that I want all my clients to know: I don’t judge and will always be honest with you. I’ve been to therapy myself, and I know how it feels to sit across from a counsellor and not know what to talk about. I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, confused, or stuck in a problem that is overwhelming. Your experience is different than mine, but the foundational experience of challenging human emotion—that I get. I am dedicated to holding space for people to find solutions that will best work for them.
No matter what it is you may be struggling with, you deserve a safe, judgment-free space to process, grow, and be heard. I welcome you to schedule a free phone consultation at my website.
