Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with kids, teens, adults, and families, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood. In our work together, I’ll meet you where you are—whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, College, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and strength-based techniques, but more than anything, I focus on listening to you and tailoring sessions to what you need. I truly believe therapy is about collaboration—you bring your experiences and hopes, and I bring tools and support to help you move forward. My hope is that you’ll leave sessions feeling lighter, more confident, and more connected to yourself. I know it can be hard to open up about yourself so here's some personal things about me: I'm a runner, I enjoy photography, I love the NBA, I'm into anime, and Severance needs to come back already

Couples Counseling
Self Esteem
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual and couples therapy for adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with awareness—of our thoughts, emotional patterns, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others. I work with individuals who struggle with self-criticism, doubt, emotional disconnection, and a persistent sense that they are never doing “enough.” Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of worth. Through therapy, they learn to recognize unhelpful patterns of self-talk, develop greater emotional clarity, and build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with themselves. I also work with couples who feel caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Rather than focusing only on the content of arguments, I help couples understand the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns driving their interactions. By reducing judgment and increasing awareness, partners are able to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and reconnect in more meaningful ways. My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and client-centered. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based work to help clients understand the “why” behind their reactions and practice new ways of responding. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or assigning blame, but about creating space for clarity, understanding, and intentional change. Clients often report feeling calmer, more self-aware, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life challenges. My goal is to help people feel more grounded in themselves, more connected in their relationships, and more confident moving forward.

I’m a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic-oriented therapist who works in a warm, relational, and insight-driven way. I help clients understand the deeper emotional patterns, internal conflicts, and early experiences that shape how they feel and respond today. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a belief that real change comes from understanding the meaning behind our struggles—not just managing symptoms. In our work together, I pay attention to the themes that show up in your relationships, your history, and even in the therapeutic relationship itself. These patterns often hold the key to why certain feelings or situations keep repeating. By exploring them at a comfortable pace, we create room for clarity, emotional relief, and lasting growth. Clients come to me for help with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, family conflict, self-esteem, and difficult life transitions. I offer a thoughtful, steady space where you can explore your inner world, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward a more authentic and meaningful life.

I am a driven and creative individual. I am a psychotherapist and a professional cellist. Having two careers side by side gives me a unique perspective and ability to connect with people in the therapy setting. I am a problem solver and I enjoy doing so in a collaborative manner. I try to foster a space where constant learning and growth is happening. I especially love being a safe person and providing a safe environment for people to practice new skills with. I believe that if I'm going to teach something new to someone that it's best if I am practiced at it as well. I enjoy trying things together and am not afraid to think on my feet and be spontaneous in sessions. To me therapy should be like taking vitamins; a regular part of your health routine.

There I assessed and treated a wide variety of issues and provided a broad range of treatment approaches. I've supervised other therapists and taught clinical social work practice to graduate students for over 9 years. In 2018, while teaching as an adjust instructor in the social work department of Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, FL, I started my private practice as an independent contractor for a psychiatric practice.

I’m Dan—a dedicated, down-to-earth therapist with a background that gives me deep empathy for those who’ve experienced trauma and adversity. My years in the military and emergency response taught me how resilient people can be, even in their darkest moments. I help clients process what they've been through and reconnect with a sense of meaning and control in their lives. Healing isn’t a straight line—but you don’t have to walk it alone.

I believe in seeing the client before me as a whole person rather than his or her diagnosis. The therapy room should be safe space to develop a positive relationship with a therapist one has rapport with and I aim to be that therapist for everyone who walks into my office. I utilize multiple tools and theories in sessions; but at the core, I am a person-centered therapist who practices unconditional positive regard for my clients. Whatever issue or life change brings you to therapy, I will work with you to help you create a more positive mental space for yourself, and empower you to make the necessary changes to impact your life in a beneficial manner. Therapy is a tool for everyone to use; life can get challenging, and having someone in your corner to support you through different obstacles can be an advantage.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
