About Daniel

My ideal client may be navigating a myriad of emotional challenges—from managing overwhelming emotions, to grappling with trauma, attachment issues, or seeking assistance with gender transition. Their goals are to gain deeper understanding of themselves, establish healthier relationships, and enhance emotional well-being.

While my specialty encompasses BPD, trauma, attachment, and gender transition issues, I welcome individuals with diverse emotional struggles. I offer a supportive environment for clients to voice their concerns, gain insights into their emotional patterns, learn coping strategies, and chart their path towards healing.

Having personally navigated similar terrains, I empathize deeply with your struggles. Taking the first step towards healing can be daunting, but remember—you are not alone.

What to Expect

The first session we will go over what to expect. Then we will talk about what brings you to therapy. I will provide some insight and that usually takes up the hour.

The first sessions are relaxed—it's important to build an understanding of one another, such as humor styles. Building trust through authenticity is my goal.
