Our therapy sessions involve exploring our thoughts and feelings, gaining skills and insight into how they work, and finding strategies to address difficult situations in our lives with healthier, practical and manageable approaches.

Accepting new clients for in person and video sessions. The most important relationship we have in the world is the one we have with ourselves. I’m sorry you are needing to be here; I am glad you are choosing yourself and that you are worth feeling the way you want to feel. When you’ve come to the point of accepting that you need support in overcoming challenges in your life, you may feel overwhelmed, beat down, tired, and low. Many people feel a sense of relief following even the initial session where they’ve taken the first step in improving their life, relationships with others, and the relationship with themselves.

I have over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I primarily work with trauma and sexuality and am experienced with LGBTQ2IA+ and neurodivergent communities. My work in this field began with refugees abroad which led me to research treatment development for survivors of sexual trauma. My experience extends beyond these populations and I strive to stay open to the wisdom gained through working with a wide range of demographics and therapeutic approaches.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma-related issues such as PTSD, complex PTSD (childhood or ongoing abuse or neglect), Addictions, Anxiety and Depression. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with a range of other therapeutic components that are research informed. My philosophy is that the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of a person all work together as an integrative whole and are ideally treated from this perspective in order to restore balanced living.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

Hi, I’m Daniel! Are you struggling with your mood, stress, or figuring out your future goals (i.e. career, school, etc.)? Do you feel curious or confused about your gender or sexuality, or are you trying to make sense of your religious or cultural beliefs as a queer person?
