I am an experienced therapist helping individual clients cope with addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based methods enabling clients to achieve their desired goals. These methods include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, meditation, and writing therapy. I use a client-centered approach to the therapeutic process. We proceed at a pace that is comfortable for you. You determine the goals for therapy.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session, clients experience me as calm, empathic, supportive, and often see my experience in addressing their struggles as comforting and inspiring hope.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My experience enables me to bring expertise in a variety of evidence-based approaches to the client's emotional challenges. My calm and empathic approach also creates a supportive therapeutic environment that fosters hope. Ultimately, I have a long track record of clients achieving their desired therapeutic goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Given my extensive experience, I have successfully worked with clients confronting a wide variety of challenges. I see people suffering from anxiety and depression regardless of the precipitating factors. I also work with people affected by trauma. I work with people so they can recover from their trauma-based anxiety, anger, depression, trigger reactions, and low self-esteem.

It was a pleasure meeting Dan Quinn this afternoon. I thought the series of questions were appropriate, and well thought of. I can tell Dan has patience and understanding, as well as the understanding that this is a marathon and not a race!! I look forward to working with Dan in the future.

Logical and scientific, while still being open to other potential solutions. Excellent listener and able to tie together the entire picture which can be difficult when someone goes on a tangent.
