I’m Daniela, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who believes in the power of connection and compassion. I work with adults, children, adolescents, and families, offering trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy to help clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience. I am passionate about creating inclusive spaces where clients of all backgrounds feel heard, respected, and empowered. With over 9 years of experience, whether you’re seeking support with anxiety (including eating disorders), depression, identity exploration, family dynamics, grief, or professional growth, I am here to partner with you. I have experience in helping clients with family conflicts, trauma, abuse, coping with grief, coping with loss, eating disorders, motivation, & self esteem. I also have experience working with confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. My background is uniquely rooted in both clinical practice and organizational leadership. I have years of experience providing both inpatient and outpatient therapy, in-home support, and crisis intervention for young people and their families. I enjoy connecting with clients to understand their intersectionality while bridging the gaps between the micro and macro parts of their lives. I also bring a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), having led large-scale DEI initiatives, courageous conversations, and mental health trainings in professional settings. Outside of my work, I cherish time with my family — my husband (my high school sweetheart) and our three beautiful daughters. I love books, music, and sharing good meals with loved ones. For anyone seeking services in a language other than English, I am bilingual and am fluent in Spanish. Together, we can work toward healing, growth, and a future where you feel more confident and connected. I look forward to meeting you.
