Hey There
I am Daniel
A Chicago therapist helping clients rewrite their stories. Unpacking what’s happening, explore where it comes from, and building tools needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Family Life Is Messy but Fixable
Between parenting challenges, family conflict, and the chaos of everyday life, it’s easy for communication to break down. I help adolescents, parents, and families rebuild connection, repair trust, and navigate change with more understanding and less tension.
My goal? To help you make sense of the mess, unpack what’s really going on, and rediscover the parts of your family that feel like home again.
What To Expect in Sessions
Working with me is conversational, grounded, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a space where everyone—especially teens and parents—can exhale. We’ll talk, reflect, and use practical tools that fit your family’s rhythm.
I’m open, thoughtful, and direct, but never judgmental. I mix structure with humor, because growth requires both comfort and challenge. Together, we’ll focus on creating healthier patterns, clearer boundaries, and stronger communication.
Real Conversations. Lasting Change.
Family Reconnection
When family bonds feel strained by conflict or distance, sessions focus on rebuilding trust and safety so real connection can grow again. It’s about creating peace, not forcing it.
Co-Parenting Support
Parenting apart doesn’t mean parenting alone. Therapy helps parents communicate clearly, set boundaries, and create calm routines that keep kids at the center.
Teen & Parent Balance
The teen years bring change for everyone. Sessions help families bridge communication gaps, ease tension, and build mutual respect that lasts beyond adolescence.
Men’s Wellness & Fatherhood
A grounded space for men to unpack pressure, identity, and relationships—building emotional strength and balance at home and within themselves.
Current Availability
Immediate openings available. Offering in-person sessions in Chicago and virtual therapy for clients in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, Washington D.C., and Maryland.
Your Privacy
Your privacy isn’t just paperwork—it’s personal. Every conversation stays between you and your therapist, so that you feel safe, judgment-free, and built on trust—
Final Thoughts
Every family has its own story — and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. My role is to help you unpack the layers shaping your relationships and create new ways of connecting that actually last.
Clients often tell me that my sessions feel both challenging and encouraging. That’s intentional — growth happens when we’re honest, supported, and ready to do the work.
