I was hesitant having a male therapist because I usually feel more comfortable confiding in women, but even during my first session with Daniel, I felt really comfortable talking to him and it felt like I was talking to an old friend. Daniel is very kind and understanding and he provides very helpful advice and tips and tricks that I can use to help me in day to day life. If you are looking for a therapist that is kind, understanding, warm, and helpful, I would definitely recommend Daniel!

Written on May 04, 2022 after therapy with Daniel for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety
Daniel is excellent! He is encouraging, listens extremely well, and guides one with the expertise of a professional and the care of a good friend. He opened my mind to so many underlying mechanisms and imperceptibly made me ask why. I was in doubt and confusion when I first spoke with him and now feel as good as I have ever felt in my life. I am thriving. That this is the case I can largely attribute to the conversations I had with Daniel. Would recommend 10/10 and will most definitely use him in the future if the need arises. Thank you Daniel!

Daniel gave me great advice with my son that has some autistic tendencies/aspergers tendencies. He is great at listening and letting you get it all out and responding appropriately. He gave me the confidence to change perspectives a lot and look at my problems from different points of view. He challenged me in a good way to figure out how to solve my issues with different methods and gave me some confidence again.

It is hard to give a thorough review this early in the counseling relationship, however Daniel listens carefully to my concerns and offers informed feedback from his experience and education. He also is able to tie some of these things to scripture and prays for me. Praying for me is something I really value in him as a counselor. Getting to know him and how he relates to God is part of the counseling relationship I find very encouraging and helpful.

Daniel is a very knowledgeable, warm, and considerate person, and it makes him a great therapist. He listens and responds well in myriad session types, whether confronting a specific issue directly (ie, a particular symptom or issue related to trauma/dysfunction/disorders) or discussing more general things (life events, general mood, etc). When I ask for tools and strategies for processing things and working on symptoms of my disorder outside of live therapy sessions, Daniel always has ideas and they tend to be highly effective and helpful. The therapist matching on betterhelp worked really well- I think Daniel and I have a lot in common, from a shared drive for knowledge and analytic thinking to general compassion for others and the world. I came to betterhelp to address specific issues, and Daniel has been fantastic at helping me work on them.

Daniel is a very soft-spoken, intelligent, and understanding individual. He helps you talk through your issues in a very natural and pleasant way. I had sessions with him where it just felt like we were chatting over a coffee, but the conversations would stick with me throughout my days and he really helped me get to a better and more confident mind-space.
