“Terrific Therapist. Able to relate on many topics and still give some valuable information”

“Daniel is an a thoughtful therapist, great active listener and upfront responses.”

“Daniel is an outstanding therapist. Very professional. He is a great conversationalist and a great listener.”

“Daniel is a wonderful person. He has supported me tremendously, and I appreciate him quite a bit.”

“Dan is a considerate person who LISTENS! To my surprise not all therapists are great listeners, but it was immediately obvious that Dan’s biggest priorities are giving his clients time, space, and support. He’s not looking to “fix” anyone. He’s looking to receive, reflect, and empower those who come to him to make the best choices for themselves. I trust in his experience, background, and skills.”

“I really enjoy my sessions with Daniel”

“I really appreciate Daniel. He is clearly an expert in the world of mental health and gives genuine energy to our sessions.”

“Daniel has been incredible. He helped me through an immensely challenging moment in my life. More importantly he helped me to discover the beauty, humor, meaningfulness, meaninglessness in life that is present even in extremely hard situations. We are working on implementing those things into day to day life even when there is not a crisis. I’m grateful to Daniel and feel like a better person for having worked with him.”
