Daniel has been great and has helped
identify my personal triggers, and provided concrete coping strategies I can use in everyday life. I always feel heard, validated, and gently challenged to grow at a pace that feels right. If you are looking for a compassionate, skilled, and truly present mental health professional
I highly recommend Daniel

Daniel has been an imperative part of my healing and growth. I started seeing him two and half years ago when I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. He quickly helped me realize I was in an abusive and dangerous situation, which I finally ended a few months later. Since then, Daniel has helped me immensely, and offered an invaluable perspective on who I was and who I've grown to become, all the while helping me address the issues that led me into an abusive relationship in the first place to help ensure that it will never happen again. I am happy and thriving, and barely recognize the scared and insecure woman I was before I started seeing Daniel.

So far so good. I have appreciated his listening ability and the tools he’s come up with that I have been incorporating in to my daily routine.
