LMFT, 14 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I have a Master's Degree from Hope International University and am working towards my Doctorate in Psychology. For the past 14 years, I have been helping clients work through the struggles that keep them feeling "stuck" in life. I help clients identify and fulfill their needs by making responsible choices and long-lasting, sustainable changes.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then go over the specific challenges you're facing as well as some of your history.
I strive to create a safe space where clients can share freely and be themselves without fear of judgment. My goal is to see life through your eyes and focus on the issues that are important to you.
I love working with people who understand that they will get out of therapy what they put into it. The willingness to be open and transparent helps us go a long way in a shorter period of time.
I utilize CBT to help clients u to change unhelpful or unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. I use practical self-help strategies that are designed to immediately improve your quality of life. It's been a successful treatment option for clients whose thought patterns are preventing them from reaching their goals or living the life they want to live.
Motivational interviewing helps people make positive changes in their lives by increasing their motivation to change. It's based on the idea that there's a partnership between my client and me, and that the client's own motivations are important. This method helps clients make longlasting positive changes that are sustainable over the course of time.
Reality therapy is a form of CBT that focuses a lot more on the present and future than it does on the past. I have used this treatment method to help clients understand that behaviors are a choice. Regardless of how we think or feel, we have a choice on how to behave. Clients are encouraged to explore what they want their life and relationships to look like, and then actively work towards that by being accountable for the role they play.
I am always open to working with clients wish to explore their circumstances from a biblical or faith-based perspective. I do not incorporate this by default but am willing and able to do so at the client's request.

I have been seeing Danielah for months now and she has helped me immensely in dealing with anxiety and relationships. I've talked with some friends about things she's taught me and they all want her number now too lol! We tackle a lot of underlying issues and come up with solutions but I am mostly grateful to her for just being a safe space, hearing me out and making me feel seen. Sometimes that's all we need. Thanks Danielah!!

I appreciate how she is willing to make herself available for me whenever i feel i am in a crisis. She gives me outlooks on challenging situations I am experiencing. She LISTENS, I have opened doors that have been shut for years and she is helping me find ways to face these horrible situations i buried.
