About
Hi, I’m Daniel. I am a licensed mental health therapist working in private practice. Finding a therapist can be daunting – an investment in time, money, and emotional energy. I work with people who experience problems in living. These can be described as anxiety, depression, anger, grief, life transitions, recurring relational patterns, self-doubt, meaninglessness, or the residual impacts of past traumas. I recognize these problems do not exist in isolation but are connected to childhood, family dynamics, relationships, history, culture, and with racial, economic, sexual, and environmental oppression. Along these lines, a basic imperative of my role is to embrace the fundamental humanity of everyone I work with. My main approach is psychodynamic, meaning I'll be interested in the past, the present, and the "here and now" of the counseling session. I also offer EMDR, a therapy that helps people recover from traumatic memories.
