With over 35 years of experience, I have been trained in numerous evidence-based approaches, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, hypnosis, EFT, addiction treatment, and Gottman Method couples therapy, and many more. The interventions themselves are only tools. The most effective aspect of my work is my ability to integrate these approaches around the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular model.
Transformation occurs because I do more than provide insight—I help clients experience change. Through intensive, experiential work, clients leave with a deeper understanding of themselves, practical skills, and corrective emotional experiences that create lasting shifts rather than temporary symptom relief.
I bring a calm, grounded presence that allows people to feel emotionally safe, often within the first few moments of meeting them.
My clients consistently experience someone who is fully present—not rushing to solve problems, but willing to sit with them in difficult emotions without judgment or discomfort. This creates an environment where people can finally lower their defenses and begin telling the truth about their experiences.
I also bring clarity to complexity. Many clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, confused, or stuck in repetitive cycles. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, I help them connect the dots between their past experiences, current patterns, emotions, nervous system responses, and relationships. What once felt chaotic begins to make sense, which often reduces shame and increases hope.

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. Dr. Dan also provides crises debriefing around the Nation as needed to help in the aftermath of traumatic event.
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Research consistently shows that having a good relationship is better to your physical health and longevity than exercise. Therapy sessions are held with both couples and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.
Traditional therapy meets weekly or every other week, progress builds over time, often focusing on one issue at a time and can be helpful for ongoing support. Traditional therapy is like taking regular steps along a path. You meet, process what has happened since the last session, identify what you want to work on, and continue the work the following week. This form of therapy may be insurance reimbursable, at least in part. In general, traditional therapy requires 8 - 10 sessions then sessions become less frequent as treatment goals persist over time.
An intensive is more like stepping off the path for a day or two and giving yourself uninterrupted space to focus. Instead of repeatedly stopping and restarting the conversation, we have the time to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, practice new skills, and begin putting those changes into action.
An intensive doesn't mean more therapy is automatically better. It means more focused time when focused time makes sense. Sessions are 6 hours daily and can range from 2 -3 days. The goal isn't simply to fit more therapy into fewer days. The goal is to create enough space for meaningful work to happen
Dr. Dan is a qualified supervisor for candidates pursing post degree clinical supervision in addiction recovery, counseling and relationship counseling and psychology.
Beginning therapy can create some anxiety because various myths and stigma exist around people wanting to change. Dr. Dan believes that "healthy people go to counseling" because it is the healthy people that recognize when events are repeating themselves, when they are unhappy or acting in ways that they don't want to. Healthy people recognize when it is time to go and shake things up and get back into life and love.

Traditional therapy involves 40–55-minute sessions weekly or every other week. There is on "one approach" to counseling as transformation happens on an individual basis, but in general attending weekly for the first 8-10 weeks often helps speed up the therapy gains. As treatment gains are obtained, sessions decrease to every other week, then monthly, then often a couple times a week. The duration of traditional therapy can range from 3 - 9 months.
