Hi! I’m Daniel.
One of the most frustrating experiences with being human is how easily we forget. We forget who we are, our passions, what and who matters most to us. We forget what makes us happy and we can be hard on ourselves for forgetting to prioritize self-care, connect with our loved ones, and be with nature. Trauma, early childhood experiences, death and loss, relationship challenges, and work stress all contribute to our forgetting.
But how beautiful is it to remember? The “aha” moments of our own truths and connecting to what feels most alive to us. I believe we are here to continuously remember who we are and my own process of re-membering my Self is what led me to psychotherapy.
Caring deeply about my clients, my therapeutic style is warm, grounded, sensitive, and accepting, drawing upon aspects of relational, depth, attachment, somatic and trauma-informed orientations. I strive to hold a non-judgemental space, rooted in empathy and compassion, where your experience of life and the world around you is honored and validated.
I am a white cisgender male, adoptee, experiencer of personal loss and major life transitions, musician, naturalist, and advocate for psychedelics, ritual and ceremony. I celebrate the unique, expansive diversity of our community and have worked with clients of varying identities and intersectionality, including LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, ENM/poly, and neurodivergent, and am an ally in the fight for authentic expression and equity. Engaging in the work of understanding the effects of systemic oppression, I invite open conversations around race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other areas that create power and privilege.
Areas of support that I offer include identity, grief and loss, relinquishment trauma (adoption), relationships (couples, ENM/polycules, bio and chosen families), attachment, anxiety, depression, developmental and complex trauma, life transitions, career and financial stress, men’s growth & healing, spiritual emergence, psychedelics/expanded state integration, existential inquiry and self-esteem.
I invite you to come remember with me, knowing that we will forget some things along the way, and that is the beauty of it all.
