Grounded, compassionate, and collaborative, Dan creates a safe space where clients can gain insight, rebuild connections, and take meaningful steps toward recovery.
Dan’s approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
