Daniel strives to support each client in accomplishing their goals effectively and in a genuine manner, finding ways to thrive.

Systems of oppression affect all of us. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and affirming space to help you learn to navigate these systems. I am a queer person of color and I work with people of all genders and sexualities. The larger systems we interact with impact our daily life and how we relate to others in relationship. If you struggle with the relationships in your life, I am here to help. I provide an affirming space to people from poly, divorced, and blended families. My practice is sex positive. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I am experienced in working with Trans, BIPOC, and Enby identities.

Whether you're going through a life transition, experiencing something difficult (externally or internally), or want someone you can bounce thoughts, feelings, and ideas off of, I'm here for it. When we take the intentional time to look at how whatever is going on for you is impacting your mental, emotional, physical, and relational health, and how that might be preventing you from reaching your goals, we can not only gain a lot from the therapy process, but also enjoy it. We can work together to talk it through, break down barriers, generate insight, and create positive change in a supportive environment.

Asking for help is not easy. It takes an immense amount of courage to step into a stranger's office and share your story with them. As a therapist, earning my client's trust and working with them to find solutions that can improve their life is a great honor. I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of issues including sexual addiction, couples and family conflict, developmental disabilities, codependency, anxiety, and depression.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a member of the National Board of Certified Counselors. I have worked with a wide range of clients including children, pre-teens, adolescents, adults, couples, families, LGBT and trauma victims. My philosophy centers on empowering clients to discover the most effective tools that lead to alleviation of symptoms and resolution of life challenges.

Navigating the search for the right therapist can be challenging, and I recognize the courage required to seek help. As a psychotherapist, I offer a non-judgmental environment for children, adolescents, and adults. Building a foundation of trust, care, and respect is essential in our therapeutic relationship. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where you can explore, express, and work towards positive change. Listening attentively, understanding your unique experiences, and tailoring specialized treatments to meet individual needs are at the core of my practice.

Do you feel like you are continually battling uphill due to depression, anxiety, trauma, or sexual addiction issues and it seems like nothing you do helps? Do you have childhood issues that keep seem to always be coming back to haunt you or your relationships? If so, I can help you by showing you how to recover from these and help unlock energy that gets trapped inside yourself and help you be a the most functional person you can. I use a combination of methods to help get your brain and mind to work for you rather than against you, and am a certified EMDR practitioner.

With nearly 20 years' experience in the mental health field, I have a wealth of experience treating adults and children through a wide host of challenges. Whether your distress has been long lasting or caused by a recent event, we will work together to identify, understand, and overcome what is holding you back from your desired life experience. The most important factor in a successful therapy outcome is the client/therapist relationship. I believe you will find me to be a welcoming, knowledgeable, light hearted, and down to earth.

I work with those struggling with confidence/self-esteem/self-compassion, those interested in working on emotion identification and regulation, and those struggling with inattentiveness/focus difficulties. I help those who want to build up their coping skills toolkit. I am interested in working with those striving to identify and live aligned with their values and eager to engage in therapy. I am comfortable with people who might be the first generation willing to engage and trust the therapeutic relationship. I want to work with someone who wants to find balance and acceptance in a life of suffering and joy.

The idea of exploring therapy can be difficult, confusing, and uncomfortable. It can also be your first step toward health, balance, and emotional freedom. You can achieve this from the privacy and comfort of your own home via telehealth. I have been helping individuals and couples successfully navigate the counseling process for over 18 years by identifying and changing unconscious beliefs that sabotage personal/relational success and emotional well being. My special interests and certifications are in informed trauma therapy, complex grief and bereavement, anxiety disorders, veterans mental health and telehealth.

Often times, individuals and families struggle with issues beyond understanding or don't have an individual to provide an unbiased approach to life's problems. Sometimes those seeking therapy have a support system that doesn't know how to best assist in their issues. Some individuals don't have a support system and need help navigating isolation. Some couples want to feel heard, validated, and respected by their partner and struggle with communication. In all, therapy can provide a safe place for positive growth to occur as individuals, families, and couples work to achieve healthier approaches to a majority of life's problems.

I aim to create a safe, welcoming environment where we can work as a team to foster self awareness, build insight into current issues, develop tools to navigate life challenges, and create and sustain meaningful change.

I believe that a strong therapist-client relationship is of utmost importance and my ideal client would be someone who is looking to take an active role in their therapy. Although you may be experiencing loss of hope or feelings of worthlessness, I am convinced that everyone has an opportunity to create their own personal comeback story.

I am here to support you on your journey to feel strong and hopeful again, to understand and manage your emotions, to communicate your needs to others and regain control over your life.
