Hi, I’m Daniela. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with several years’ experience working across community, school-based, & private mental health settings. I am especially interested in working with children and teens in managing big emotions and difficult life experiences. I also enjoy working with parents and caregivers to help them better understand and connect with their children. I believe that my role as a therapist is to provide a secure, compassionate relationship in which my clients are able to share all parts of themselves without judgement. I’m 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 & experience with multiple modalities including Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), child-centred play therapy, parts work (IFS-informed), sensorimotor psychotherapy, working with intergenerational trauma, and trauma-informed care in addictions.
Outside of being a therapist, I’m 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!
