“Danielle’s training was incredibly informative and engaging. She incorporated theory and data, as well as real scenarios from her work, which provided a foundation to my interns for what expressive arts therapy is, how it has shown success, and what it can sound and look like in its execution. Danielle did a masterful job creating a warm and supportive environment for the participants, allowing them to feel comfortable in asking questions and being vulnerable with the material. Art is something that presents as intimidating for clinicians who don’t self-identify as an artist. Danielle broke down that wall of intimidation, to show how any clinician, artistically inclined or not, can and should use expressive arts in their work. I would highly recommend this training to anyone in any part of their career.”
“Danielle is a creative, engaging and perceptive facilitator. I learned a lot from her and believe she’s one of the best Expressive Arts trainers out there. She incorporates different methods to accommodate different learning styles and promotes reflective practices to enhance growth. She was attuned to participants and provided gentle guidance in her training to establish a safe container. Her training sharpened my tool box and I left feeling enthusiastic about using the exercises she presented in her training with my clients. I highly recommend a training with Danielle! You will be engaged the whole time and you will have fun in the process!”
“Danielle is an excellent, knowledgeable and passionate trainer. I took her Expressive Arts Therapy training and through her case examples, clear explanations and hands-on learning I deepened my understanding of the power of the arts to heal. I also learned tangible, practical ways to immediately incorporate the arts into my clinical work with children and adolescents. Danielle’s style of teaching is dynamic and empowering and I left the training feeling both nourished personally, and inspired professionally. I highly recommend her training!”
Danielle has had the pleasure of partnering with California Association of School Social Workers (CASSW), Berkeley Public Schools, San Carlos School District, Napa Valley Unified School District, Seneca Family of Agencies, and Remarkable Marriage and Family Institute.
