Daniella firmly believes in the transformative power of connection and views healing as an inherently relational process. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes community, creativity, play, and innovative thinking, encouraging clients to explore their experiences with curiosity and openness. She recognizes that well-being is deeply intertwined with relationships, the environments people inhabit, intergenerational trauma, and systemic factors that contribute to daily stress and anxiety.

In her sessions, Daniella co-creates a safe and supportive space where clients feel empowered to reframe challenges and discover new pathways to wellness. She incorporates a range of therapeutic tools, including somatic practices, breathing exercises, and art-making, to help clients take ownership of their healing journeys. Daniella’s cultural identity and lived experiences shape her commitment to providing trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care. She actively works to dismantle power imbalances, offering anti-oppressive support while guiding clients on their journeys of growth and healing.

As a professionally trained art therapist, Daniella uses art as a powerful tool for nonverbal expression, helping clients communicate and explore emotions in unique and creative ways. No prior artistic experience is required to benefit from art therapy—art-making is always optional and based on the client’s comfort.

Daniella has extensive experience working with individuals, parents, groups, couples, and families across a wide range of ages, including children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Her areas of specialization include grief, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), life transitions, identity, and culture. She also places significant importance on the mind-body connection, offering psychoeducation to help clients understand the neuroscience behind therapeutic processes.

Daniella’s approach is flexible and client-led, ensuring that each session is tailored to the client’s unique needs and comfort level while maintaining a safe and structured environment.
