About Daniella

I care deeply about engaging with others to help share, learn, and connect. It is a privilege for me to share my curiosity, compassion, knowledge, and skills with others to help them to feel supported. 

​

I am very passionate about supporting the development and practice of psychologists to help them to then help others ethically and effectively. I provide clinical supervision, workshops, and training to psychologists and mental health teams; and I am a sessional lecturer in clinical psychology, teaching future clinical psychologists and contributing to research to further our understanding of the human experience.

 

I provide assessment and therapy to adults in private practice and have a special interest in trauma processing. This work informs, and is informed by, my practice as a supervisor, lecturer, and researcher. 

​

Outside of work, I enjoy painting and yoga, and love to spend time with my family and friends and in nature (especially at the beach).
