More about Daniela
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
My areas of focus include - but are not limited to - depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, behavioral problems, life transitions, parenting, and relationship issues. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have experience providing individual and family psychotherapy.
I have a background in the field of education and extensive experience working with adolescents and their families.
I utilize an eclectic theoretical approach to therapy as every client is unique and one size does not fit all when approaching treatment. I believe that psychotherapy is a collaborative process and feel honored to be part of my client's journeys of self-discovery and growth.
