   About Daniel

He is presented as IL Psychologist 071008898 and practices in Illinois. He writes in a straightforward way and aims to help people make clearer choices about their next steps.

   He listens closely and uses conversations to help people notice recurring decisions and behaviors. That insight can make it easier to change habits that lead to anger, low mood, or relationship strain. Sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and move at a pace they control.

   His broader focus includes aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, impulsivity, intellectual disability, and personality and mood disorders. He also addresses family problems, isolation and loneliness, control issues, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder when relevant to an individual client.

   People who come to him can expect a warm, attentive listener who balances insight with practical next steps. To get started a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
