02 · In Daniel's own words

What Daniel says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With experience working with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions, I bring a compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy.

My work focuses on helping people build stronger relationships, clarify their life purpose, and develop healthier communication patterns. I'm particularly skilled at supporting clients through parenting challenges, career transitions, grief, and identity questions. I also work with individuals exploring family dynamics, relationship patterns, and personal growth-including those in non-traditional relationships and alternative lifestyles.

I'm committed to creating an affirming, nonjudgmental space that honors diverse perspectives and experiences. I approach therapy from a secular, progressive lens and am attentive to how identity, culture, and lived experience shape each person's story. Whether you're facing workplace stress, navigating midlife transitions, processing family-of-origin wounds, or working through commitment concerns, I'm here to support you.

My style is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard and respected. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and authenticity.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Daniel practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Daniel's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Daniel at this point.

2. Naming Daniel specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Daniel is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Daniel.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Daniel

Built from what Daniel actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Daniel's - Daniel has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Daniel's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Daniel. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
