Hi, I’m Daniel.
I am a therapist trainee who works with individuals navigating complex psychological and relational challenges, including narcissistic personality dynamics, anxiety, limerence, ADHD/ neurodivergence, and gambling or porn addiction.
People with psychopathology CAN get better, but only by years of humility, patience, sacrifice and perseverance.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in a painful relational dynamic, overwhelmed by anxiety or obsessive attachment, struggling with impulse control, or trying to better understand how your mind works, psychological coaching can offer clarity and direction. I aim to help clients make sense of their internal experience, strengthen their sense of self, and develop healthier, more sustainable ways of relating to themselves and to others.
My Philosophy
Human beings develop in context. Our internal parts, relational patterns, and behavioral responses are shaped by the systems we inherit and the narratives we internalize. When shame embeds itself in those systems, it constricts growth, distorts self-concept, and disrupts our ability to act in accordance with our values.
My work is guided by the premise that transformation occurs when shame is relinquished and one can be confident in his/her/their authentic self. Through a systemic, compassionate, and values-based lens, I help clients understand how their internal and external systems formed, how they can be reshaped, and how authentic living emerges when we stop running from our experiences and start integrating them into the present.
My Approach
Alleviate Shame
Shame distorts our self-perception precipitating behaviors that are misaligned with our authentic selves. This shame prevents us from identifying and advocating for our needs. Healing occurs after we shed toxic shame and put on our authentic selves.
Build Support Systems
We do not rise to the occasion. We sink to the level that our existing systems support. Collaboratively, we will build robust systems that support your health and life aspirations.
Integrate Authentic Action
Insight without action keeps us stuck. Once shame is released and supportive systems are in place, we begin translating internal shifts into real-world behaviors. Using value-informed decision making and confident-boundary setting, we’ll practice embodying your authentic self in relationships, choices, and communication. Healing becomes alive when you are no longer performing a role, but living as who you truly are.
