I am Daniela. I have an inherent love of people. I have always been involved in helping vulnerable populations. I worked in three African countries, outside of South Africa in Ngo's benefitting children. Children are my first love. I am able to descend to the level of the child soul and children love me too. However, youth, adults, I have also worked with. There is an immediate connection with everyone I have worked with because I feel that my best qualities are my humility, kindness, curiosity and motivation in empowering my client. I believe in servant leadership, where I lead from behind, thereby making my clients leaders.
I will help you analyze the narrative of your struggle and create better coping skills, mechanisms. I give out homework and small, fun tasks for you to do. I will enable you in your own healing. My methods are holistic. I work with all life problems- grief, which I survive, anxiety, depression, special needs, vulnerable populations, lgbtqia+, all age groups.
If you are undergoing a challenge in life and want to change something and go forward with a new acquired strengths and motivation, I am ready to work with you. If you are ready for a self-challenge , I am ready to find new ways of thinking and creative coping skills to help you conquer yourself. I offer my best qualities, which are a kind and empathic heart
