Sessions with Danica are warm, unhurried, and genuinely child-led. That means your child gets to show up as they are — talkative or quiet, playful or serious, wiggly or still. There's no script to follow. Some sessions look like a game. Some look like art. Some look like a walk, or a conversation about a very specific obsession that Danica will absolutely geek out about with them. All of it counts. All of it is the work. Danica brings a relational and eclectic approach, meaning she draws from whatever tools best fit your child — not the other way around. She pulls from trauma-informed care, strengths-based frameworks, social justice and feminist lenses, and identity-affirming perspectives. The goal is always to create a space where your child can arrive as their most authentic self, every single time. For families navigating disability — including autism with high support needs, intellectual or developmental disability, blindness, or chronic illness — Danica offers something rare: a therapist who has spent 14 years inside schools, most recently working alongside students with complex disabilities, who understands how to build trust slowly, meaningfully, and in a way that actually works. She'll take the time to get to know your child in whatever way is most meaningful to them.
