About Danielle Bunker, LAMFT (She/Her)

Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT) who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families feel more connected, secure, and understood, especially during seasons when life feels overwhelming or heavy.

I work with women, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, life transitions, divorce, remarriage, and the complexities of blended families. Many of the clients I work with struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, putting their own needs aside, or feeling stuck in patterns that leave them disconnected from themselves and the people they love. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward clarity, confidence, and deeper connection.

My primary approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based model that helps us understand how our emotional experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. I believe that many of the patterns that create distress in our lives (anxiety, shutdown, conflict, or emotional overwhelm) are protective responses that developed in the face of pain, unmet needs, or disconnection. When we begin to understand these patterns through the lens of attachment and compassion, meaningful change becomes possible.

In our work together, we focus not just on behaviors, but on the deeper emotions and attachment needs driving them. I integrate attachment theory, trauma-informed care, somatic processing, nervous system regulation, and polyvagal-informed interventions to support healing at both the emotional and physiological levels. Because trauma and stress can live in the body as well as the mind, I help clients develop awareness of their nervous system and learn ways to create safety and regulation during difficult emotional experiences.

Clients often share that they feel deeply seen and emotionally safe in our sessions. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and engaged. I believe therapy works best when you feel supported by someone who is genuinely present with you, and I hold that responsibility with care.

Whether you are a couple caught in painful relational cycles, a family navigating transition, or an individual carrying anxiety, shame, or depression, my hope is to help you move from survival and isolation toward greater emotional security, connection, and self-understanding.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband, kids, and grandkids, taking my dog for walks, reading, and watching movies.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
