Hi, I’m Daniela. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 5 years experience working across community, school-based, and private mental health care settings. I am especially interested in working with individuals who are looking understand and connect more deeply with themselves. I also enjoy working with children and teens in managing big emotions and difficult life experiences, as well as with their parents and caregivers. I aim to build honest and authentic relationships with clients where they can share all parts of themselves without judgement. I am so grateful to be able to work with people in this way.
My approach to psychotherapy is humanistic, attachment focused, & trauma-informed. I have training and experience with multiple modalities including Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), psychosensory and applied polyvagal theory, working with intergenerational trauma, and trauma-informed care in addictions.
Outside of being a therapist, I am a mom to one super awesome human & two (also very awesome) rescue dogs. I love cooking, reading, puzzles, & spending quality time with my husband & our little family. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I look forward to connecting with you!
