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.

Dan is a considerate person who LISTENS! To my surprise not all therapists are great listeners, but it was immediately obvious that Dan’s biggest priorities are giving his clients time, space, and support. He’s not looking to “fix” anyone. He’s looking to receive, reflect, and empower those who come to him to make the best choices for themselves. I trust in his experience, background, and skills.
