After graduating in 2021, I have worked with both male, female, and LGBTQIA+ individuals recovering from substance use and other mental health disorders.
I strive to create a safe therapeutic environment for my clients to engage in discovering how their experiences have shaped their individuality. I often work through a trauma lens and often find myself seeking to enhance advocacy for self and others. I typically feel most comfortable using the modalities of ACT, MI, CBT, and DBT.

Six years ago, I began working in substance use disorder treatment centers in various roles.
My goal is to give my clients something tangible to find some immediate relief. I use a collaborative process to find solutions that make sense to clients. I often work through a solution-focused lens and find it important to explore our past but not spend all of our time there.

I have extensive experience and training in substance use disorder, anxiety management, trauma-informed care, and sobriety management.
Therapy is for everyone—because everyone deserves a space to be heard, understood, and supported. I believe that you don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, talking to someone outside your daily life can provide the clarity and fresh perspectives you need during tough times. My mission is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.
I understand that no two individuals are the same, and I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Therapy to meet your unique needs.

I have 6 years of experience supporting teens and adults, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and those struggling with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders, including psychosis.
My ideal client is someone who feels the weight of anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma, especially those navigating the unique challenges of being first-generation or the child of immigrants, those struggling through psychosis, or navigating developmental disabilities. They seek to break free from inherited patterns, heal from past wounds, and build a life that honors their true self. I strive to encourage mental health acceptance through contemporary and engaging methods that seek the root causes of trauma and aim for lasting and sustainable healing.

I have 10 years experience practicing DBT at all levels of mental health care with adults struggling with mood, anxiety, personality, substance use and eating disorders.
One of the most common frustrations with therapy is feeling like you gain insight during session, but that doesn’t translate into behavioral change outside of session. As an adherent DBT therapist, I am committed to helping my clients shape the intensity, frequency and duration of emotions and behaviors that are causing fall out and disrupting the quality of their daily lives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an effective treatment for helping people regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal effectiveness and increase mindfulness.

I specialize in substance use disorders and mental health.
Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. It's important that you feel comfortable. Finding a safe, confidential and collaborative experience in counseling is my goal. When meeting with adult clients I blend a number of treatment approaches in my work, including client centered, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapies. My clients have described me as compassionate, respectful and supportive, with a good sense of humor. Each person is unique to their own personal experiences in therapy and I adapt my skills to fit your needs.

Specialty areas with teens and adults include: family conflict, self-esteem/bullying, anxiety, depression, and substance use.
It It is my mission to team up with children, teens and adults to improve confidence, positivity and emotional regulation. As children, we are taught math, science and reading, but not how to feel or to express our feelings. This can come out as aggression or anxiety or with-drawl. It is my goal to help my clients target problem behaviors, process past events, and learn new skills while providing guidance and support each step of the way.

Hello and ¡bienvenido! I’m Daniel, a bilingual, English-Spanish clinical social worker, and the fact that you're reading this means you're looking to take a courageous step forward in your journey toward wellness and healing. My work with people who are incarcerated has taught me that no one is a “lost cause.” I believe that you are more than the worst thing you've ever done and you can overcome the worst thing you've ever experienced. My approach with clients stems from this belief. Change and growth can feel difficult, which is why I'll challenge you but do so with grace and compassion.
