Clinical Psychologist · Child Psychologist
Hello, I'm Daniela.
After completing six years of university training, I received my Master of Clinical Psychology from the Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany (2009). I began my career working in a psychiatric clinic for patients with anxiety disorders overseas.
In Australia, I have been employed in the mental health sector as a case manager and team leader for a not-for-profit organisation, and worked for several years as a child psychologist in a private practice before founding Mindful Growth Psychology.
I am passionate about working with children and adolescents and their families, and empowering people to achieve their fullest potential. I work from a humanistic, person centered and strengths-based approach.
