jULIA CARPENTER, ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor

My role as a psychotherapist is to help people deepen their connection to themselves and find emotional well-being. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC), and an EMDR certified clinician, I believe the most powerful healing happens within the context of a genuine, empathically attuned relationship.

My approach is anchored in psychodynamic and humanistic theoretical approaches, and I am deeply informed by Jungian and Depth Psychotherapy. This means looking beyond surface symptoms to explore the richness and wisdom of your unconscious self—the dreams, symbols, and patterns that hold the key to your story. I will work together with you to understand the forces shaping your life, facilitating a journey toward greater insight and the realization of your unique potential (individuation). Additionally, I incorporate a variety of theories and techniques, always tailoring the work to your unique needs.

I operate from a foundational trauma-informed approach, recognizing that much of what brings us to therapy is the deep residue of past experiences. I strive to cultivate a safe, authentic, nonjudgmental space for individuals of all backgrounds to gently meet and process these hurts.

To support this holistic healing journey, I integrate my extensive training in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and the creative arts to allow you to unlock pathways to deeper self-knowledge and lasting transformation.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your path.

Client Feedback

  • “I began working with Danielle for the first time when I was at one of the lowest points of my life, and I felt like I was powerless in the face of addiction. I felt like my life was crumbling down on top of me. After I attended Danielle’s groups, I began processing what I was feeling in ways I could never have expected. Danielle didn’t just help me stay sober, she helped me with the complexity of why I was getting sober.”

  • “Danielle had a way of helping me see things that I needed to see. Danielle used a perfect balance interventions and in-depth discussions that challenged my belief system. She also helped me fortify my beliefs in loving myself and being patient and kind to myself. ”

  • “Danielle is gifted. Thoughtful and razor sharp, she gets to the heart of the matter, both spiritually and functionally in her approach to healing. She is not afraid to dig deep and get uncomfortable - the place from where all good things come!”

  • “Danielle helped remove blocks. I used to be overwhelmed by anxiety when it came to my creative work, always delaying the act. My creative process has expanded in a way that it hasn’t in years and I am lucky I came across her as a guide.”

  • “Working with Danielle has made my life significantly better, I am now much more financially secure, my marital issues have been resolved, and not only do I have one year sober from drinking and drugs, I know why I’m worth a life free from drinking and drugs.”

  • “Danielle accesses places you haven’t gone for a long time or perhaps have never allowed yourself to remember, creating a unique juicy collection through a plethora of tools including guided meditation, visualization, active imagination exercises, and writing prompts. This combination was what I needed to crack my armor and my creative flow feels sprung from its self-imposed exile. The greatest gift I gained was the belief that my personal life experience is enough to inspire others to feel and think.”

  • “Besides Danielle’s wonderful understanding and brilliant talent, it is clear after working with her she is passionate to do all she can to help her clients. She knows how to guide; remaining patient, welcoming, and ecstatic to see a person grow from their time with her.”

  • “Danielle has a way of just taking you there. I felt relaxed and safe. Danielle cares deeply; she listens completely when you share and gives sincere and thoughtful feedback. She is so knowledgeable and wise. The message to listen to your intuitive voice, to trust that inner guidance, and to also do the work. “

“I would like to beg of you, dear friend, as well as I can, to have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer some distant day.”
