About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families. Many of my clients have commented they like my insight and non-judgmental approach when discussing their issues. In my experience, I have observed many are struggling to make changes in their lives because they received the message they are not good enough. However, I am determined to provide a safe environment for all therapeutic participants by ensuring they can embrace themselves and recognize they are good enough. I am a U.S. Navy Veteran who has personal experience with some of the hardships faced when families are separated due to long deployments. In addition, I have worked with men and women who have recently been released from incarceration. I have experience and training with domestic violence and other traumas as well. Clients tell me that I have a calm demeanor and approachable character which help them connect with me.

Get to know me

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

In the first session, my focus is to listen to the issues you want to address and try to tailor our future sessions to help deal with those issues.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

My approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an evidence-based approach that helps participants examine how their thoughts impact their feelings and behaviors. I encourage clients to use mindfulness activities to exam their thoughts in order to find solutions that will work for them. When working with couples, I prefer the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples connect on an emotional level. My experience has been that couples often get distracted from each other through responsibilities that exist outside of the couple’s relationship such as work, children, friendships, and family. When couples decide they need therapy to make repairs to their relationship, my goal is the help them reconnect emotionally.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

If I am describing my biggest strength, it is that I am very empathetic. In addition to standard therapy, I have trained extensively in couple's counseling and trauma. For client's dealing with trauma, I am trained to provide EMDR if that is needed.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am comfortable dealing with individuals and couples who would like to make some changes.

Daniel helped me realize I needed to stand up for myself better in my communication with my wife. I am grateful as it has helped our communication. We are moving forward with couples counseling.
