Sometimes the hardest questions in life don’t have simple answers.

Questions like:

Who am I now?

What if I don’t believe the things I used to?

How do I rebuild my life after everything I thought was true changed?

Those are the kinds of conversations Daniel loves.

Before becoming a therapist, Daniel served as a Southern Baptist pastor. During that chapter of his life, he experienced his own profound season of change while navigating a cancer diagnosis and reexamining many of the beliefs that had shaped his identity. What followed was a deeply personal journey of healing, questioning, grief, and growth.

Because of that experience, Daniel understands that leaving a high-control religious environment isn’t simply about changing beliefs. It can reshape your identity, your relationships, your understanding of yourself, and even your sense of safety in the world.

Today, Daniel enjoys walking alongside people who are navigating those same kinds of transitions. Whether you’re deconstructing your faith, wrestling with life’s bigger questions, recovering from religious trauma, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, he offers a space where your experiences don’t have to be explained before they’re understood.

His approach blends evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. Rather than offering quick answers or telling you what you should believe, Daniel believes therapy is a place to slow down, ask honest questions, and discover what feels authentic to you.

At the heart of Daniel’s work is a simple belief: meaningful healing doesn’t come from becoming someone else. It comes from creating enough space to reconnect with the person you’ve been all along.
