Hi, I'm Daniela

A licensed clinical social worker,author, and educator.

I created Rooted & Informed to bridge two worlds I care about deeply: supporting clinicians as they grow into confident practitioners, and walking alongside women as they heal.

Everything here is grounded in real practice and real life.
