No fluff, no judgment. Bilingual, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ affirming—I bring empathy and real talk so you can actually change.

Daniela is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. She believes that this healing work is a calling that brings together the best parts of humanity, our resilience, vulnerability, consistency, inner strength, empowerment, and curiosity. As a culturally informed and intergenerational trained counselor; she works with children, teens, young adults, couples, and the elderly of varying backgrounds through a person-centered approach. She is available to the Spanish speaking community as an Ecuadorian native. Her life experiences have given her extensive insight and understanding of working and being inclusive with our neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQ+, BIPOC, spiritual, chronically ill communities. Her priority in the counseling room is to make her clients feel seen, understood and heard in a space that maybe they have always needed but couldn’t find, with a professional who will put in the effort and time to facilitate authenticity and safety unafraid to be in the trenches of the struggle with mental health. When Daniela is not doing this work, she is playing guitar, cooking with her spouse, hiking, horse riding, serving her community and supporting the causes that fill her heart.
