Emotions are a river, and sometimes the current can feel overwhelming. You do not have to navigate your river alone. Daniel creates a safe and welcoming environment for people to relieve stress, tension and learn new tools to aid in emotional navigation. His approach is client-centered, focusing on the depth of your experiences, and finding new insight and resolutions to the difficulties in your life.
Daniel has a personal and professional background in multicultural issues that makes him adaptable, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He specializes in teen issues, grief, depression and anxiety. He is passionate about helping those in need and does not shy away from difficult topics or issues. He comes to each session with an open mind and heart.
Daniel is a graduate of Cal Poly’s Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy program. He was born in Brazil, raised in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and lived in Japan before returning to the US to further his education. He is deeply passionate about serving his community and bringing life and new hope to the clients he serves.
