ABOUT ME

headshot copy.jpg

Hi! My name is Daniel and I’m a social worker and therapist. I grew up on the east coast but have spent much of my adult life in the Pacific Northwest. I obtained a master’s degree in social work from the University of Washington and am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in a variety of settings and with diverse clients, including in schools, community mental health agencies, and hospitals. I am passionate about improving access to mental health care. I feel honored to have the opportunity to work with individuals in the therapy space and to be a part of a healing process. I love being active in the outdoors, road trips, podcasts, and cooking.

THE THERAPY PROCESS 

Making the choice to engage in therapy is a brave one. Honest self-reflection and critical evaluation of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be challenging. But it can also be highly rewarding. Difficult emotions and, indeed, suffering are a part of life, but can be learned to be navigated effectively. I believe in meeting you where you’re at and making therapy a collaborative process. My work is guided by non-judgmental empathy and compassion. While discomfort often accompanies the therapy process, I know that there can be space for humor and levity during sessions. You as the client are encouraged to provide feedback throughout the therapy process. I support an approach that is goal-directed and helps steer you in the direction you want to go.
