The goal in therapy is to become the best version of yourself. My clinical specialties include working with adult and older adult clients with anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, grief and loss, anger and stress management, relationship stress, and support for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. Our mind and body have a fascinating connection, and we would explore methods of healing from a number of techniques that pull from Western and Eastern medicine. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring and treating unique stressors associated with late-life to promote positive aging in our community.

People come to me because of some degree of dissatisfaction or unhappiness in their lives. They may have any number of concerns including: irritibility, frustration, worry, or depression, or physical symptoms such as restlessness, difficulty sleeping, pain or discomfort. They may know pretty well why they feel the way they do, or they may feel thoroughly confused. My focus is not limited only to treating symptoms, but also to making one's life and relationships really work. I am unwavering in my commitment to facilitating an authentic and lasting satisfaction in the lives of my patients and clients.

You've been praised and noticed by others, even complimented for your work. But somehow, you could never bring yourself to believe them. Deep down, you're aware of your potential, but the surmounting self-doubt, fear and negativity has consumed and drowned out your voice. You end up not believing in yourself, which leads to missed opportunities; you don't apply for opportunities that speak to you because you've already ruled yourself out and convinced yourself that you "can't." Your confidence has taken a major hit over the years, but now you're ready to make a change. You realize that you want and even deserve more.

I believe that beginning therapy is a courageous and positive step for a person to take in their life and I look to welcome each individual into this journey and support them along the way. I want to help clients live a life that brings them joy and fulfillment while supporting them in times where it may feel the opposite. I believe that my clients are capable of more than they believe and there is nothing more rewarding than watching this idea come to fruition in a client’s own mind.

My primary therapeutic goal is to support individuals in their journey towards healthy and sustainable growth, including resolution of any past trauma. Often when faced with change or difficulty, people may feel anxious not knowing what to expect or they may fear a potential outcome. I enjoy providing space to be curious, explore factors in life contributing to these feelings and help individuals develop skills to help manage this distress. By learning how our past and current stressors impact our lives, we can learn about ourselves and grow.

Often people look into therapy when feeling consumed with overwhelming thoughts, worries, and transitions. In difficult moments, taking the next step to begin therapy can feel like the most overwhelming part of it all. My role as a therapist is to create a safe space for you to sort through emotions, struggles, and experiences in a manner that you feel comfortable with. I truly believe that each person is the expert of their own lives. I aim to instill hope and teach strategies to help those in need understand that change and growth towards a more meaningful life is possible.

Hi, my name is Daniel and I'm all about making mental health as approachable as chatting over coffee. My journey into counseling started because I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard and understood. Every day, I get to help people unpack the big stuff (and the little stuff, too) in a down-to-earth, supportive environment.

My ideal client is an individual or couple motivated to make a change. Their issues can range from struggling to manage their day-to-day lives to struggling to handle emotional reactions. They would need someone who can gently call things out while providing coping skills or tools. My ideal client would want to make an effort to show up consistently. Showing up consistently is not just attending sessions but also putting in work outside of sessions. With consistency, there's more progress. If the client needs some time to warm up, we can work with that, too.

I have worked with clients with issues such as marital problems, but they improved self-esteem, advocacy, and assertiveness in therapy, which reduced conflict with their spouse. My ideal client is someone motivated to change at the onset of therapy, who is committed to attending regular therapy sessions, identifies their goals, and focuses on a collaborative process to achieve their goals.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerne as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

Are you longing to connect with something bigger than your pain and fears? Would you like to try a different approach? Spiritual Exploration (SE) is a gentle, caring, supportive, process that honors your unique spiritual beliefs. It is not about proselytizing but exploring what spirituality means to you. SE can help you cultivate a more profound sense of peace, experience greater joy, find meaning and purpose, explore careers, and heal from life’s inevitable traumas and setbacks. While very similar, Spiritual Exploration is not psychotherapy. Please get in touch with me to learn about this transformational modality for free.
