You deserve space to breathe again | About Empowered Counseling

When you're carrying the weight of anxiety, loss, or overwhelm in motherhood, even joyful moments can feel out of reach.

From the outside, it looks like you’re managing: the appointments, the feedings, the emotions, the expectations. But internally, you’re exhausted. You’re anxious, overstimulated, maybe even grieving. Whether you’re trying to get pregnant, recovering from loss, or adjusting to life as a new mom, the mental load is heavy—and it’s impacting how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and this entire season of life.

That’s where I come in.

As a certified perinatal therapist in New Jersey, I help women move through the emotional challenges of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood with compassion, evidence-based care, and tools that actually help. You don’t have to hold it all together alone - and you don’t have to lose yourself in the process of becoming a mom.

Hi, I’m Danielle!

I’m a licensed therapist and certified perinatal mental health professional based in New Jersey, and I specialize in supporting women through the emotional highs and lows of the motherhood journey - from fertility challenges and pregnancy loss to postpartum adjustment and early motherhood. I also offer EMDR therapy for those carrying trauma, whether it’s birth-related or rooted in past experiences.

With over a decade of experience as a therapist, I’ve worked in a wide range of clinical settings, including intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and a community mental health counseling center. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the many ways mental health challenges can show up - and how important it is to feel truly seen and supported.

But this work is more than just professional for me - it’s deeply personal.

As a mom of three, I know firsthand how disorienting, emotional, and isolating this season can feel. I’ve navigated the anxiety, the identity shifts, the invisible load, and the moments that felt heavier than anyone around me realized. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the therapy room - with empathy, curiosity, and absolutely no judgment.

My goal is to provide a safe, validating space where you can be fully honest, feel deeply supported, and start reconnecting with the version of you that may have gotten lost along the way.

You want to feel like yourself again - and I’m here to help you get there

Maybe you’re tired of overthinking everything, snapping at the people you love, or constantly wondering if you're doing enough.

You might feel stuck in cycles of guilt, grief, anxiety, or resentment - but unsure how to move forward.

That’s where therapy comes in.

I combine over 10 years of clinical experience with a deep, personal understanding of the emotional complexities of motherhood. Using a blend of perinatal-focused therapy, EMDR, and practical tools tailored to your needs, I’ll help you move from just surviving each day to feeling more regulated, more connected, and more you.

My goal is to support your healing while giving you tools to cope with the real-life demands of this season. It’s not about “fixing” you - it’s about giving you space to breathe, heal, and grow.
