About

I have over 25 years working with people facing a variety of life's challenges. I believe that all people have the power to change and this change comes from within as well as their connection to the community they are a part of. I see the work we do as a partnership where together we will develop a strategy for addressing the concerns that brought you to Find A Therapist. My core therapeutic techniques utilize Rogerian Therapy mixed with Minuchin systems theory.

I practice a lot of mindfulness techniques that are similar in structure to Buddhism, yet differ in slight yet meaningful ways. While I am very supportive I am also direct and believe honest transparency is a fundamental building block in a therapeutic relationship. In addition to the aforementioned, I prefer to conduct sessions over video. I believe that texting can help us stay in touch over the course of treatment when discussing goals of hurdles however if you want a therapist that is going to conduct all therapy sessions over text I'm not a good match.

I love working with people of diverse cultural/ethnic backgrounds including the LGBTQ+ community.

If you have any questions I look forward to answering them during our first session!

Mahalo,
Dan
