About Dan

Hello! I am a life-long New Mexican who loves our beautiful state that we are blessed to live in. I focus on a compassionate and holistic approach to self-exploration, healing and transformation. I utilize a solution-focused, mindfulness perspective, strength-based approach and integrative style. I am enthusiastic about helping you address and process different issues in your life that will allow you to live a more fulfilled existence and to be your best and authentic self.

I have experience in working on different past and immediate life challenges and issues- such as symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, grief/loss, life transitions, unresolved trauma and family of origin related issues. I also work with different populations including children, teens, young adults, mature adults and the LBGTQ+ community.

My work combines the evidence-based effectiveness of cognitive behavioral constructs with mindfulness, solution-focused modalities, and brief client-centered therapy. This leads to meaningful changes in our lives, perspectives, and the ability to accomplish both short- and longer-term goals, while increasing self-fulfillment and overall happiness.

"I am experienced in working with different populations from children to mature adults in addressing real life issues in order to facilitate growth, development and understanding in pursuit of self-actualization and self- fulfillment. I believe that all individuals have the potential for success and happiness and deserve to feel good about who they are and what they choose to become. "
