Nice to meet you, I’m Danny.
I earned a Master of Counseling degree from Oregon State University. I am a dually credentialed provider as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC).
I’ve been working in the field since 2015, and enjoy meeting and working with individuals who want to heal from their past or would benefit from support to make positive, helpful changes in their lives. I use an integrative approach to counseling including elements of Cognitive-Behavioral, Narrative, and Person-Centered therapy. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which can be used to heal from past events and memories and their negative effects.
