Hi I’m Danny.

I’m Danny (he/him). I am a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience of working with clients from all walks of life.

I spent many years practicing a type of therapy called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) that instills a very particular structure to how therapy sessions are intended to be focused. Whether you’re being seen as an individual or a couple, what this translates to for you is that we will not lose sight of what your goals are over the course of therapy.
