More about me

Licensing: MS, LPC-S Years in Practice: 18 State: Arizona

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Arizona. I have been practicing for sixteen years and own a counseling practice in Surprise, AZ. I am also approved as a clinical supervisor in AZ and work with both interns and associate counselors as they pursue degrees in counseling and acquire hours toward independent licensure. I find it very rewarding to help give back to the future generation of mental health practitioners. I am a native of WI but have called AZ my home since 2006.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a licensed professional counselor, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I specialize in individual, couples, and family counseling. I also focus on adolescent and young adult issues and have extensive experience in this area. As a bio-psycho-social-spiritual counselor, I believe in treating the whole person. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance/Commitment Therapy, and Family Systems approach to counseling. Psychotherapy requires an active effort and commitment from the client, this is important in order to most effectively identify areas of concern and desired treatment goals. Counseling is an exploration of deep, personal life issues and areas of one's life that may have been buried for any number of reasons.

If you are ready to reclaim true control in your life or ready to redefine who you are and where you would like to go in life, schedule an appointment with me.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jan 05, 2024

Overall

Talking with Daniel has been a great support for me. He responds in a timely manner and he is respectful about my beliefs and always tried to understand me and validate me. Talking with him helped me clarify things I would do subconsciously and try to identify what was making me feel a certain way and I was able to put into practice the things he advised and I've seen some progress and I was able to face my fears and reach some goals that for years I was afraid to start. I still have a long way to go but, for any that are afraid to start therapy, I recommend it and Daniel will help you on learning some tools to help you get started on that healing journey.

Daniel gives great perspectives and insights. He doesn’t waste time either. He made sure we were working on the root problems together, that he was aware of my expectations and desired outcome of each session. I especially appreciate his persistence in contacting me with technical difficulties such as bad reception. It was becoming a bit redundant. Overall, I appreciate Daniel as my counselor and his expertise!
