I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
As an experienced psychologist with over 20 years of experience, it is my honor to assist you in working towards your journey to psychological wellness. At the heart of my practice is a dedication to helping others to heal, grow and empower you to find hope from the most difficult experiences. Great emphasis is placed on building a trustworthy relationship and providing compassionate care so individuals can access their inner wisdom, change ineffective thoughts and behaviors, process emotions, problem-solve challenging situations, and learn tools to help you cope. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often utilized, strategies are tailored to meet each individual's unique needs and desires. Focus is placed on the whole individual (mind, body, emotional and spiritual/faith for those who desire). I look forward to providing guidance and support every step of the way on your journey to wellness so you can learn action-oriented tools to help you and/or your family create effective change and become the best version you are meant to be. Please call via telephone for a free consultation today to see if we would work well together and if I can meet your needs.

Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
I work especially well with thoughtful, capable people who may understand themselves intellectually yet continue to feel caught in patterns they cannot resolve through insight or effort alone. Many of my patients are accustomed to functioning well, carrying responsibility, and caring for others while privately struggling with anxiety, depletion, shame, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from themselves.
What distinguishes my practice is the depth and individuality of the work. I do not reduce people to diagnoses or apply the same treatment formula to everyone. I seek to understand how your history, relationships, identities, strengths, and protective strategies have shaped your inner world. I am attentive not only to what you tell me, but also to what may be difficult to articulate, what repeatedly gets enacted in relationships, and what unfolds between us in therapy.
My style is thoughtful, engaged, and collaborative. I respect complexity and do not impose artificial urgency, but I am not passive. I will help us notice when fear, avoidance, or familiar patterns begin to limit what feels possible. My goal is to offer a relationship in which you can become more fully known, develop a different relationship with your internal experience, and gain greater freedom to choose how you want to live.
