Helping women break patterns, rebuild self-trust, and create lasting change through life transitions.
This is the part of the journey that often goes unspoken— and where real change begins.
For women navigating life after significant weight loss, this next step can feel unexpected, and deeply personal.
Coaching Philosophy:
I’m Danielle, a Licensed Therapist and Social Worker based in Pennsylvania offering virtual coaching for women navigating life transitions, identify shifts, and emotional challenges. With over a decade of experience across hospitals, schools, community settings, and private practice, I’ve supported individuals, families, and groups through complex and deeply personal experiences.
My work is rooted in compassion, structure, and real-life application, helping you not just understand your patterns, but actively change them. I specialize in supporting women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, whether that’s in relationships, motherhood, after trauma, or through personal changes like weight loss or bariatric surgery. I also have extensive experience working with women impacted by domestic violence and sexual trauma, creating a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and empowering.
Through coaching, I help you gain deeper insight into your patterns, rebuild your confidence, and develop the tools needed to make decisions without constantly second-guessing yourself. This work is about helping you feel more grounded, clearer, and more in control of your life.
I also bring personal insight through my own journey with weight and bariatric surgery, understanding firsthand the emotional and mental shifts that come with transformation. This allows me to support you in a way that is both professionally grounded and genuinely relatable.
The work I do is grounded in both lived experience and professional expertise.
Professional Experience:
I began my work in the mental health field in 2012, first providing in-home support as a Therapeutic Staff Support (TSS). In those early years, I worked closely with single mothers navigating how to support their children through emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges. Being invited into family's daily lives gave me a deeper understanding of the stress, resilience, and needs that exists within these dynamics, and it was during this time that I found myself naturally drawn to supporting women and mothers.
As my career expanded, I gained experience across schools, community settings, hospitals, and private practice. Throughout this journey, I’ve supported individuals, families, and groups through a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, with a continued focus on women and mothers.
My background includes facilitating women's support groups for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, providing individual and clinical group therapy, and providing family therapy for children, teens, and women. These experiences have shaped my structured, compassionate approach, allowing me to help others gain insight, build skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
This work is deeply personal to me, and I’m committed to creating a space where women feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow.

After decades of struggling with weight gain and obesity, I underwent the duodenal switch procedure.
