About / FAQs

Hi, my name is Daniel. I’m a Chicago-based psychologist, and I appreciate you taking the time to consider working with me!

I have worked as a psychologist for about 10 years, mostly with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. I also have significant experience working with LGBTQ+ folks and issues specific to our community.

I am a born and raised Okie and enjoy spending time with my partner Josh and our perpetually spoiled dog, Sybil.

I offer individual talk therapy for adults across a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, and other life stressors. My theoretical approach to therapy is primarily from a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective.

I exclusively use types of therapy that are grounded in science, meaning they have evidence of being helpful and successful. I also at times draw techniques from other science-informed approaches, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Unified Protocol, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy.

If you decide to schedule a free consultation with me, I’d be happy to talk more or answer any questions you may have about my approach to psychotherapy.

My clients describe me as friendly and approachable. I want us to work as a team to achieve your goals, and it’s important to me that you feel respected and supported throughout our work together. I inject a bit of humor and sarcasm into my work (where appropriate!) and try to create a comfortable therapy environment.

This is a specific type of assessment that requires specific training to perform. I do not have this training, and therefore I cannot provide these assessments.

I do not.

I am admittedly a big nerd, mostly for video games, kung-fu movies, and college football. I also enjoy baking and playing the guitar, though I’m not very good at either one!
