Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Minneapolis, MN

As a therapist, I’ve been working with youth and families for over 12 years in the mental health field. I have experience in school settings providing individual and group counseling to children and teens, as well as in-home family therapy supporting families experiencing high stress.

I often work with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, anger, grief, or family conflict, and who may feel overwhelmed at school or at home. I strive to create a supportive environment where young people feel understood and empowered.

A former client called me "endlessly chill." I am known to wear more sweatshirts than more "professional" attire. I don't want to give off any energy that I am better than anyone who sits across from me. I am known to swear in sessions (but I do filter this per client).

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist with experience in individual and group therapy since 2017. My approach is trauma-informed, empowering, and client-centered, tailored to meet the unique needs of adults, children, and families. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which help clients develop healthier thought patterns, reframe their personal stories, and enhance motivation for change.

With experience supporting individuals facing severe and persistent mental health challenges, as well as those with sexually maladaptive behaviors, I create a safe and supportive space for healing and personal growth. Since opening my private practice in 2023, I have been committed to helping clients build resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and improve their overall well-being.

If you’re looking for a compassionate therapist dedicated to fostering healing and transformation, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I am empathetic, compassionate and listen actively to my patients.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space where you can be fully yourself. I specialize in working with people navigating gender, sexuality, trauma, and life transitions, blending evidence-based tools with a compassionate, collaborative approach. Together, we’ll work at your pace to build self-trust, deepen your relationships, and support your growth.

Hello, I'm Dan. Welcome! I'm glad that you're here and that you've chosen to begin or continue your journey in therapy. I’m a licensed therapist based in Rochester, Minnesota, my home since 2010. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Florida State University before enlisting in the U.S. Army, where I served honorably for 25 years. While on active duty, I completed the coursework for my Master’s degree in counseling from Winona State University and went on to finalize my internship and graduate in 2015, shortly after retiring from service in 2014.
