Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I genuinely hope you find the help you are seeking. My first experience with psychology came at 8 years old when my parents took me to see their counselor, Greg. He ended up being so helpful that I decided to one day become a counselor myself. Today, I feel fortunate to be able say that I love what I do.

All of us need support as we move through our lives because living inevitably brings suffering as part of the process. We may not all suffer in the same way – grief, anxiety, lack of hope, relationship conflict & many other forms of discomfort are all a natural part of living in a sentient body. If you're experiencing suffering, I want you to know you're doing nothing wrong, and at the same time, I want to invite you to explore how you might be able to shift your patterns of feeling, thought, behavior, & belief to suffer less and experience more joy, hope, vitality, & ease. Let's honor the sacred spark inside you.

Welcome. I work with individual adults to expand their self-awareness, find balance, and create positive changes through a non-pathologizing and holistic approach. I believe that feeling witnessed and validated in the whole of our identities and experiences is part of what leads to change. We will be intentional about understanding your lived experiences and how they have affected you, what systems you live within, your beliefs, your personal identities, and what makes you resilient. I believe that expanding this awareness can increase the confidence and compassion needed for healing and creating an authentic and fulfilling life.

If you are here that means you are probably seeking support for something in your life that feels difficult, overwhelming, confusing, or painful. My work is to offer you a safe, kind, and accepting space for you to further explore what is happening for you. Together we will be curious about your unique life experience, the impact of that experience, the struggles and conflicts you may be facing, and what you need in order to thrive. I believe therapy is the process of uncovering who you were meant to be before the world told you who you should be and wounded you with its expectations and cruelty.

Anxiety takes on many forms: social, obsessions and compulsions, attachments, phobias, and post-traumatic stress to name a few. Clinical research has shown all of the above to be treatable, given the right therapeutic relationship matched with the right treatment. Daniel has treated clients coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, psychosis, social difficulties, divorce, sibling relationships, unhealthy attachment styles, and various forms of trauma (including PTSD).

I’ve found that therapy is most powerful when there is a combination of traditional western methodology and eastern philosophy practices. Together, we’ll discuss who you are. I’ll form questions that provide insight into your systems, and patterns. We’ll discuss family of origin. Time and time again. We’ll talk about diet; we’ll talk about love. We’ll discuss death. Together we’ll uncover aspects of your human experience and award you the opportunity to look further inward.

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF THINKING... "I wish I hadn't reacted that way. ​I feel like I am giving too much of myself to others. I feel burnt out. I wish I had a stronger sense of self. I've heard about intergenerational trauma, but I'm not sure what that might look like." If any of those statements sounded familiar, then you're in the right place. I'm here to help you explore those thoughts and behaviors in a trauma-informed, creative, and individualized way. Let's get curious together.

" We are all broken and wounded in this world. Some choose to grow at the broken places." ~Harold J. Duarte-Bernhardt.~ You had the courage to travel this far in your quest for healing. As a Transpersonal therapist, I believe you are wise and that within you resides the ability to heal from pain and trauma. My role is to be a guide, a facilitator in your process of healing unhealthy patterns of behaviors causing you to feel anxious and depressed. My approach is holistic. I blend many disciplines in search of the most effective way to work with you.

The human connection is the greatest gift - it can heal and bring joy. Connection -to self - to meaning - to others can also be complicated. My work is collaborative, humanistic, and aims at deeper connections across the many aspects of life. The role of attachment, trauma, and culture are crucial to my work.

I love my work. I love to hear people’s stories about what makes them feel alive and what inspires them. I love helping people to feel more connected to their environment and trusting of themselves in the process. What fascinates me about the healing process in psychotherapy is reflecting upon the vulnerable, groundless mystery of the human journey and the endless revelations of the unguarded heart. The focus of my work is on the unique story and experience of each individual. My approach can differ in some ways from standard talk therapy.

I offer tools to guide you into practical changes that will transform your well-being. My passion for wellness, combined with professional counseling and integrative medicine practitioner training, results in quality mental and emotional health care that is unique to you - the participant I'm serving. I am here to offer a thoughtful, loving approach to help you set goals and solve problems with compassion and kindness.

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

You desire change but are overwhelmed and unsure where to start. You’re juggling a lot. You feel almost equal parts wound up and worn out. Feeling lost, stuck, or just going through the motions. You’re feeling like you don’t measure up to expectations placed on you and you often compare yourself to others. Some of your relationships may feel unfulfilling. Something is standing between you and you leading a more meaningful life that you’re proud of. You are not alone and together, we can unpack and unlearn in a way that is supportive to what you desire.

Let's get started, call me so you can start getting relief from your pain, confusion or fear. I provide psychotherapy and counseling for adults, teens, children and couples. A sign that therapy would be helpful is the presence of recurring pain in relationships, lack of intimacy, loss of friendships, work or career dissatisfaction, shame, physical symptoms or lack of meaning in your life.

I approach your daily struggles, hopes, fears and dreams as both a personal story, unique to you and your life experiences, as well as the human story, part of the experience of being human. With presence and compassion for all the parts that make up who you are, the feelings and the unfolding patterns to your life, we find meaning that is deeply personal to you. In that way, your suffering is not "wasted time, wasted energy" but has within it something to offer you toward becoming whole.

Welcome. I provide an open, relational, psychoanalytical, and playful presence. My counseling style is warm, interactive, compassionately direct, holistic, and experientially grounded in what works. Supporting clients to explore who they are, their stories, and what causes pain subsequently reduces their movement to thrive. Trust, safety, and empathy are employed to encourage collaboration. Mutual trust and exploration of what causes us “to get stuck” encourages reciprocal curiosity regarding the motivations underneath certain behaviors and thoughts.
