LPC, 4 years of experience
Hi, I’m Daniel, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving residents of Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho and South Carolina. Before stepping into the therapy world, I worked in K–12 education, the fitness industry, and corporate America—experiences that shape the way I connect with clients today. I hold master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Sport-Exercise Psychology; I consider myself a lifelong learner, always pursuing additional training to sharpen my skills. When I’m not in the therapy space, you can find me combining my love of music and mental health advocacy by providing Mental Health First Aid or Narcan education at music events across the U.S. It’s just one more way I stay connected to people and bring support where it’s needed.
Our first session is all about getting to know each other. I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and supported as we work together. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of it, and if you’ve been in therapy before - we'll discuss what you feel has worked (or hasn’t). And don’t be surprised if I ask you to share a few songs that capture your life—music is one of my favorite ways to connect and understand people.
I don’t just bring my clinical training into our work together—I bring real-life experience, too. My approach is shaped by lived experience, a deep understanding of how tough it can be to just get through the day in today’s world and ongoing training to keep my skills sharp. There’s no one-size-fits-all method with me. Our work will be collaborative, flexible, and tailored to who you are, what you’ve been through, and where you want to go.
I tend to be a good fit for those between 13 & 50ish —especially those who identify as current & former athletes, BIPOC, or LGBTQ+—who are looking for support with burnout, mood and emotion regulation, communication struggles, identity exploration, life transitions, and navigating the ever-shifting social climate we’re all living in. ***Please note, at this time I have LIMITED slots available for couples***
This is using techniques from different types of therapy. It's like picking out several tools from a toolbox to fix different problems, instead of using one tool for everything. You're a unique individual and your sessions with me will reflect that.
Through DBT you'll learn skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships and cope with stress in healthy ways. We'll focus on staying present in the moment; getting through crises without harmful actions; understanding and managing emotions and improving communication and relationships.
SFBT is a short-term, future-oriented approach focused on finding solutions to problems instead of dwelling on them. We'll identify your strengths while exploring your current circumstances and future hopes.
Through EFT I help couples see how emotions shape your connection with others, so you can feel closer and more secure. You'll improve your relationships by understanding and expressing your emotions more clearly.
MI helps you find your own motivation to make positive changes in your life. It's about helping you talk through your mixed feelings, so you can decide what changes you really want to make and feel confident doing it.
