Post Graduate Students

 My name is Dan and I am a fully licensed Mental Health Counselor. I grew up in Olympia and returned here after completing my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Bastyr University. I am a husband and father of two young children. 

I am currently providing hybrid services, with remote and in-person availability.  I have experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD, psychosis, and other conditions. I work with adult (18+) individuals. I also am versed in concepts and models of codependency and narcissistic abuse.

I believe in a holistic approach when working with individuals; I believe it is imperative to consider the mind, body, and spirit when working towards wellness. I have worked in inpatient and intensive outpatient settings and have navigated many degrees of mental health and diagnostic presentations.

I strongly believe in utilizing the tools that one already comes equipped with. I explore with my clients how they can use their hobbies, relationships, interests to support their recovery in mental health. 

I utilize tools from CBT and ACT to support individuals in finding, building, and maintaining meaning in their actions and lives. I believe we all could use some support in facing the many challenges presented throughout our lives. I encourage those I work with to step into a willingness to experience these hardships for that is where the growth can happen. 

I am also an approved Clinical Supervisor and available to provide clinical supervision to those that are associate licensed in marriage and family therapist, mental health counselor or social work. I strive to help clinicians to become capable and competent in their practice.  I have worked in many clinical settings to include private practice, community mental health, and inpatient facilities.
