I am here to help. My experience has been working with adolescents and adults who are having a difficult time managing symptoms of mental health or adjusting to life's stressors which can feel overwhelming. I have experience working with people who have experienced invalidation and childhood emotional neglect which have resulted in Complex Trauma. I enjoy working with young adults on life transitions as well as I remember how difficult that time in life can be. I offer a nonjudgmental perspective and a helping voice with a willingness to support.

I’m here to help you live the life you desire, by working together to reduce symptoms, create positive experiences, and work through stressors. I want all my clients to achieve the goals they set for themselves, and we will work as a team. Overall wellness is what I strive to help you achieve.

I provide individual therapy for adults and teens (16+) with special interest in working with young adults and women throughout all life stages. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and providing a judgement-free space for them to explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I am perinatal mental health certified and love to support individuals through these important life transitions including pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting stages. I approach therapy with authenticity and work to collaborate with my clients to achieve their goals around health and well-being.

Brandon's experience across various settings and specialties, including working with serious mental health challenges and substance use disorders, offers a well rounded understanding of complex problems and co-occurring conditions.

I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge about the mind-body relationship of trauma, panic, anxiety, and depression, to help my clients understand what they have been experiencing and why, and how to move forward. My specialties are school-aged children and adolescents and their families, and young adults, but I do trauma-focused therapy with all ages. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and transitional stress, whether that be exploring or revealing sexuality and/or gender identity, developmental transitions, managing increasing expectations of early adulthood, or navigating life changes.

A client who would be a good fit who is an individual or family that want to go to therapy. I don't have preferences when it comes to ages and genders or sexuality. Although kids and teens have gravitated towards me because of my playful nature, and creativity in sessions. I find myself drawn to working with individuals who often people please, carry feelings of guilt, self doubt, and low self esteem. I enjoy watching others identify boundaries and help implement them. I work best with people who are open and curious in trying new things. Let collaborate and reach those goals!

Danny is a big believer in helping people become their best form of self. He believes that there should be a consideration for what each individual considers to be success and applying that idea to his approach with each client. Each therapeutic relationship is treated with the respect of no two people being the same. He understands the anxiety that comes with expressing one's most vulnerable aspects of self and enjoys assisting people on the journey to embracing the facets of themselves that they struggle to appreciate.

I specialize in working with adolescents, children, and adults with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self-confidence, and other concerns. I enjoy working with my clients around strength-based approaches, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, finding helpful coping strategies, and finding a different perspective around concerns at hand.

It takes courage to be seen during a time of difficulty and to seek out support in therapy. I strive to provide a safe, loving, non-judgmental environment in which growth can occur. Through therapy clients learn appropriate coping skills, learn new approaches for addressing their challenges, and learn how to communicate their thoughts and feelings. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities from play and art to help young children communicate what they may struggle to do verbally, to cognitive behavioral, solution focused, and narrative therapy for older clients.

I believe in incorporating a positive psychological and holistic approach to the individuals I serve. By incorporating an overall wellness and "whole mind/body" approach with individuals, I believe each person can get the best out of themselves through mental health therapy. I utilize evidenced based clinical counseling techniques such as ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of sport counseling/psychology modalities into practice. Lastly, I take an individual approach to every person I treat, knowing that every person is different and deserves authentic, genuine, and exceptional mental health care.

Clients can expect a therapist who is down to earth and brings authentic self to session. Someone who is curious, straight forward yet gentle, honest, genuine and has a great sense of humor. An ideal client is an individual who sees vulnerability as courage, finds value in openness, transparency and humor. They have the desire to gain insight about what’s working and what isn’t working. They have interest in investing in themselves and genuinely building a life worth living.

Are you enjoying your life? Or merely enduring it? I know that doing a simple search for a therapist may seem like a small thing, but it's the first step that is going to lead to major improvements in your life. I'm here to help you with the next steps. Odds are you found me because something just isn't going right. Or maybe a lot of things aren't going right. Issues like anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems can make the struggles of daily life seem nearly unbearable.

I primarily work with adults and have a special interest in family of origin issues, life transitions, pornography addiction, men’s issues, anxiety disorders, sexuality, relational issues, existential questions, and grief. I also have an interest in working with college-age and young adults. Late teens and early twenties are such important ages as you step into your adult identity.

Depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, loss, and traumatic events all have the ability to disrupt our lives, interfering with a clear focus on what is truly fulfilling and rewarding. I believe that each person has the ability to deeply connect with their unique life perspective to clear the confusion, develop their own internal wisdom, and begin living life more fully.

Throughout life, people face various obstacles. These obstacles may feel overwhelming and sometimes, insurmountable. Working with a therapist who is a good fit is a magnificent strength to help during these times. I work to create a safe environment to foster development of healthy communication skills and emphasize how to utilize support systems and healthy coping skills. I have experience working with adolescents in a school setting, in day treatment, in group therapy, and in an outpatient individual treatment setting. I have also worked with adults in a day treatment setting in addition to outpatient therapy.

I work with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples to solve immediate issues, like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life dissatisfaction.

Working with clients ages 18+, I operate from a heavily client centered and eclectic lens, preferring to meet clients where they’re at rather than using one specific modality of treatment. I have training in DBT, CBT, trauma work, substance use disorders, and beyond and experience treating adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My areas of professional focus include - life transitions - personal growth - career development - medical professional stress and burnout.
