Meet Our Therapists
Dani is the founder of Inner Healing Therapy. She established this safe and supportive space in July 2024 and is dedicated to serving the Wilmington community. Outside the office, Dani enjoys hot yoga, hiking in the mountains, and browsing antique shops around Wilmington.
She is passionate about holistic healing and takes a unique, relationship-centered approach to therapy. Dani emphasizes the importance of trust and connection before engaging in deep trauma work. Once safety is established, she gently encourages clients to step beyond their comfort zones—both in and outside of sessions.
Drawing from an empowering and strength-based perspective, Dani helps clients reprocess trauma and rebuild a sense of wholeness as they are. She enjoys working with spiritual individuals, highly sensitive people, and empaths.
Her therapeutic style is relational, holistic, and trauma-focused. Dani often integrates EMDR, Inner Child Work, Psychodynamic theory, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions into her sessions.
If you’re interested in learning more about Dani’s approach or beginning therapy, feel free to reach out today for a free consultation.
