I come as I am and invite you to do the same.

My Name is Danielle Nori and I use she/her/they pronouns.

I am a settler on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen – speaking peoples (The Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ nations), and am continually grateful for the opportunity to learn on these lands. It was on this rocky island that I gained a deep appreciation for community and how to actively participate in its healing.

I am a Registered Social Worker having graduated from the University of Victoria and am committed to continued learning for as long as this brain allows. I gained experience working in non-profit organizations, providing education and resources in sexual health, harm reduction, and crisis response. Each individual’s perspective on the world is a kaleidoscope of experiences forever moving and changing. This is why I ground my work in a holistic, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework. As each of our kaleidoscopes is unique, so too are our healing journeys - I work to weave together tools from various modalities like Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapies, and Emotion-focused therapies.

I am forever awe-struck by the human condition and thus am passionate about working collaboratively with individuals to develop their own understanding of themselves, their emotional experiences, and how to communicate those feelings. In sessions, expect me to be human -I’ll bring laughter, warmth, and understanding (and the occasional LOTR quote). Outside the office I can be found off on an adventure - talking to the trees, swimming in the ocean, or simply gazing up at the sky. The natural world is integral to my spirituality and I find the connection to our earth incredibly transformative. I can also be found laced up in roller-skates playing roller derby, or under a pile of art supplies.

Counselling is all about the right fit, and if it sounds like that could be me - I look forward to hearing more about you!
