Do you find yourself stuck in repeating patterns or unable to move forward from past experiences?
Maybe you're struggling to connect with your emotions or express yourself to others. If you grew up in an environment where showing vulnerability was avoided, it can feel intimidating to begin connecting with your feelings and even more challenging to communicate them to those around you. Over time, suppressing everything can lead to feeling disconnected, stuck, and isolated. You might find it hard to connect deeply with yourself or others.
You don’t have to figure this out this alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and help you discover a new way of relating to your emotions, yourself, and others.
WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME:
Hi, I’m Daniel (he/him).
I believe in therapy that empowers you to create real change, not just temporary fixes.
I offer a supportive space where you can bring your entire experience. My job as a therapist is to build trust and collaborate with you to identify the core areas and struggles keeping you stuck. As you start to have more clarity we can begin to create a new way forward.
Many therapy approaches offer temporary relief, but don’t help you tackle the root causes of your struggles. That’s why we will address the core of your experience, so you can create lasting change and experience life in a completely new way.
The overwhelm, messiness, frustration…it’s all welcome here.

MY APPROACH IS CENTERED ON:
Lasting Change
A lot of therapy focuses on understanding your past intellectually, but my approach goes deeper. Together, we’ll work to process and explore the physical symptoms of your emotions—like tension or changes in your heart rate. By addressing these deeper experiences, we’ll help you break free from the grip of your past and empower you to move forward, not just cope.
Curiosity
I’m committed to being curious and exploring parts of your experience that others might shy away from. I honor your complexity, offering a safe, non-judgmental space for you to dive deep and grow. You don’t need to fit a specific mold to heal—this is a space where your whole self is welcome.
Trust and Relationship
The most effective therapy happens in a space of trust. We’ll work together to build a strong therapeutic relationship, where you can feel completely comfortable being yourself and exploring your experiences.
Somatic
If you’ve been pushing away overwhelming emotions to protect yourself, you may be feeling stuck, anxious, numb, or isolated. Somatic therapy helps you connect with your body’s experiences, creating the opportunity for healing and joy. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, honoring your experiences and identity along the way.
HOW IT WORKS:
We’ll have our free consultation online via a secure video platform, then if it feels like a good fit to move forward I will send you the necessary paperwork to fill out and we can begin meeting weekly online or in-person.
Frequency of sessions is weekly as I believe at least weekly is needed to see lasting change and reach the results you desire. I will meet you where you are at and we will slowly build safety to explore and work through past and present experiences. Overtime you will begin to trust and listen to yourself and your body as the ultimate guide and leave feeling empowered and at rest in yourself and your body.

Education and Training:
I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the Seattle School of Theology & Psychology, where I learned the importance of personal growth in effective therapy. My background also includes a Bachelor of Arts in German from the University of Oklahoma, and I can still understand a bit of German, und kann immer noch ein bisschen Deutsch verstehen. I have received additional training and supervision in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Therapy for men and EMDR in Seattle and Washington State. Experience a new way of relating to your emotions, more authentic relationships, and more confidence in yourself.
