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. I place a lot of emphasis on “values,” or the things that you find to be most important in life. Put another way, let’s fast-forward to your 80th birthday party and ask the important people in your life what kind of person you were. What would you want to hear them say?

It’s okay if you aren’t sure of the answer to that, and that’s where I can be helpful. Living a life that feels purposeful and meaningful requires effort and motivation that things like anxiety and depression can drain us of, leaving us feeling “stuck” and stagnant. I want to help you follow your own internal compass, your values, so even on the difficult mental health days, we’re still finding meaning and purpose.

I exclusively use types of therapy that are grounded in science, meaning they have evidence of being helpful and successful. If you have any questions about me or my approach to therapy, please feel free to send me an email or ask during a free consultation.

My clients describe me as friendly and approachable. I inject a bit of humor and sarcasm into my work (where appropriate!) and try to create a comfortable therapy environment. I have a warm and empathetic approach and feel strongly about my clients feeling supported and respected in our work together.

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, documentaries, and college football. I also enjoy baking and playing the guitar, though I’m not very good at either one!
