About Us

At Essence of Care Counseling, we believe that mental health care is essential to overall well-being and is a powerful form of self-care. Whether it's the first, second or third time in therapy, we understand that the most important part (and the foundational piece) is a positive therapeutic relationship. Daniela's approach is eclectic, and blends aspects of cognitive behavioral, trauma informed, strengths based and narrative modalities to cultivate a space for individuals to self reflect and become agents of change in their own lives, while gaining the tools that they need to maintain their progress.
