Daniela is passionate about partnering with clients and navigating difficult seasons of life. She aims to create a safe therapeutic container to have open, honest, and vulnerable conversations that lead to valuable insights and greater healing.   Daniela has worked in a variety of settings including outpatient mental health facilities, colleges settings, and in tech. Working in these contexts and with a diverse group of individuals has helped Daniela hone her therapeutic expertise. Daniela has extensive training in Somatic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (S-CBT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. Daniela uses an integrative mind-body approach that addresses the work with clients holistically, drawing from various techniques tailored to her client's unique needs.  Daniela listens empathically, cheers her clients progress, helps balance self-compassion and accountability towards goals, imparts somatic and cognitive tools to aid in self-empowerment, and will sometimes nerdily share about neuroplasticity if it serves her client's journey. Neuroplasticity means that what we practice grows stronger because our brains are literally WIRED for learning, change, and adaptation. Daniela is constantly energized and encouraged by this discovery in neuroscience, and it fuels her life and therapeutic approach.
