Hello! My name is Daniel and I have been working in this field for roughly 6 years after completing my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at South Dakota State University. I have worked with a wide range of people and find each new person has their own unique story to tell. Much of my experience has been focused on depression, anxiety, grief, and major phase of life issues.
My approach to therapy tends to be very laid back. I believe that people are capable of discovering their own solutions and it is my job to help them navigate that process. I view client issues through an existential lens. I also find it important to stay flexible to each individual client's needs while making a connection as human beings.
In our first session, my main focus is to get to know you and for you to feel like you have an understanding of who I am as well. I firmly believe that clients should be very picky in finding the right fit for a therapist. While getting to know you, I like to get to know your background and why you have come to see me. This helps us create goals as well as establishing a strong foundation in the therapeutic relationship.
