Why Palomares Therapy?

Choosing a name for the practice was not something I approached lightly. While I initially hesitated to build the practice around the Palomares name, the meaning behind Palomares ultimately felt deeply aligned with the heart of the work.
In Spanish, palomares refers to “a place where doves gather.” Doves have long symbolized peace, safety, connection, and reconciliation— themes that sit at the center of the practice’s relational and attachment-based approach to therapy.
At Palomares Therapy, much of our work centers around helping people move toward deeper connection: within themselves, within their relationships, and within the communities and families that shape them. The name also reflects the pride in my Latine roots and the importance of creating a practice grounded in warmth, humanity, and meaningful connection.
In many ways, I hope Palomares Therapy can be exactly what the name implies: a place where people can gather, heal, reconnect, and feel a little less alone.

Danielle is one of those therapists who makes you feel at ease the moment you’re in her presence. She carries a quiet confidence that is matched by real, substantive competence and she clearly knows her stuff. What impressed me most was how she held space for complexity and nuance without losing her warmth or clarity. She is highly skilled across couples therapy, individual therapy, and trauma work, and brings a thoughtful, informed approach to sex therapy that is rare to find. Anyone looking for a therapist who is both deeply capable and genuinely kind would be lucky to work with her. I recommend her without hesitation. – Ish N. 

 

Danielle is an incredible clinician that I have had the pleasure of working alongside. She exudes warmth, sensitivity, and a sense of humor that helps clients feel held in her presence, paired with a fierce competence in all things couples’ therapy, EFT, neurodivergence, kink and non-monogamy. Danielle really understands intersectionality is my go-to referral for couples. She is truly an expert in the field and I firmly believe that any couple would be lucky to work with her.- Kate D.
