Bienvenidos! Welcome to My Practice

First off, I want to take a moment to thank you for prioritizing yourself today—it’s not always easy!

My name is Daniela, a bilingual (Spanish) clinical social worker. When not working, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my loved ones, or sneaking the occasional nap.

I firsthand understand how culture shock, trauma, and grief can deeply affect lives. That’s why I dedicated my career to helping others navigate these challenges with support and compassion.

I have over 24 years of experience working with all different age groups and diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with complex trauma to include military, veteran and first responder related experiences. I have years of experience working with PTSD, moral injury and survivor's guilt.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

I have my LPC-Licensed Professional Counselor and LMFT-Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor licenses. I have my Juris Doctorate and I am an expert in family law. My approach is collaborative, practical, and I make sure the client has something they can use to help themselves by the end of every session. I work with all types of clients, but mostly with adults, individually and as couples.

doing. I have been married, divorced, lived in other countries for several years and had a wide variety of life experiences that I draw on to help my clients.

I know that reaching out for help takes courage — and I want to make that process as simple and comfortable as possible. My practice focuses on anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I believe real progress happens when you feel heard and respected every step of the way. I take time to understand what's going on in your life before we talk about next steps, whether that's medication, therapy, or both. My goal is to give you clear information and practical support so you feel more in control of your mental health.
