From Daniela:
"I like to meet people where they are. Anxiety and trauma can sometimes leave us wondering “what is wrong with me?“ I believe a better question is “what happened to me?” Everyone has a story that makes them unique. My interest is in understanding what the story is, what anxiety does, and helping my clients learn how to view that story as a strength rather than a fault."

Daniela dice "A mi me gusta conocer a las personas donde estan. La ansiedad y el trauma a veces puede hacernos preguntas "Que es lo que esta mal conmigo?" Yo creo que una mejor pregunta es "Que me paso a mi?" Todas las personas tienen una historia que los hace unicos. Mi interes es entender esa historia y ayudar a mis clientes a usar su historia para tener mas fuerzas para seguir adelante en vez de ver su historia como una falla.

Psychotherapy works by creating a trusting therapeutic relationship, identifying problematic thoughts, and teaching tools to shift those thoughts and change problematic behaviors. Therapy also creates an environment where safe, healing, and connecting relationships between family members can take place. A good therapist will help you feel less overwhelmed, less alone, and more empowered in your life. Many people report feeling more hopeful even after just one session.
Living in this fast paced world full of comparison and social media, pandemics and unknowns, peer pressure and high expectations, it's no wonder that so many teenagers are struggling. As a parent it can be hard to know if it's normal teenage moodiness or if your teen is struggling with something above and beyond normal teenage stress. Do you know the signs and how to help your teen if they are struggling with their mental health?
