Hi, I’m Daniel.

A man in a dark blue patterned shirt and black pants standing outdoors on a pathway beside a garden with plants and flowers, smiling with arms crossed, with a blurred cityscape and bridge in the background.

I am a therapist trainee who works with individuals navigating complex psychological and relational challenges, including narcissistic/borderline personality, OCD, limerence, anxious attachment, ADHD, autism, paraphilia, phone addiction, gambling addiction and religious reconstruction. I also offer coaching for weight loss and getting through breakups.

No matter the pain you are carrying, you can have a full life.

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 toxic 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 toxic shame is relinquished and one can be confident in his/her/their authentic self and accept themselves where they are at in the present. 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 Toxic Shame

Toxic 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.

Process Grief

Denial and magical thinking are ways of refusing to grieve. We cling to "what could be" because facing "what is" feels unbearable. But unprocessed grief calcifies into fantasy or delusion, keeping us tethered to people, outcomes, and timelines that were never real. Together, we'll name what was actually lost—including the love, safety, or recognition you should have received but didn't—and let yourself feel it rather than flee it. As denial gives way to honest mourning, magical thinking loses its grip and unrealistic expectations fall away. Acceptance isn't resignation; it's the freedom that comes when you stop bargaining with reality and start building a life rooted in what is true.

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 confidently pursuing who you want to become.
