testimonials
Working one-on-one with Dan has been highly rewarding. We've focused on anxiety, work stress, emotional trauma, and general wellbeing. From our first session, I felt safe and supported. His steady presence alone feels regulating, and I leave each session with tools that are practical and empowering. Thanks to Dan, I recover from stress faster, and I have a deeper sense of resilience and self-trust. I am starting to understand my nervous system instead of feeling controlled by it.

Dan’s approach is rooted in his many trainings and extensive personal practice. His unique wisdom and deep connection to the process create a strong sense of safety, and his guidance helps me sit with discomfort in my system without feeling overwhelmed.
Our sessions center on nervous system repair and regulation. We open with reflection on current challenges and patterns, followed by guided somatic exercises and sensory activation tailored to where my system is that day.
We’ve been working together for just over six months, and I’ve noticed a meaningful shift in my overall regulation. I’m able to process intense stressors more efficiently while returning to a healthier baseline.
I highly recommend Dan and this work.

DEEP DIVE WITH DAN
My approach with my clients is to use a combination of the most cutting edge nervous system regulation techniques and years of my own experiences to bring them to full resilience and regulation, allowing them to both feel their best and perform at their best.
I know all too well what it’s like to feel unable to reach your full potential due to being blocked by symptoms of anxiety, chronic stress, past traumatic events, or feelings of burnout. The inability to be fully present can make even the smallest tasks feel challenging, let alone the ones that fully utilize your talents and capabilities.
I came to this work alongside over 20 years of working in the music and entertainment industry as a composer and music producer for film, TV, and artists. Though I was living my dream of working at the highest level with the biggest movie studios in the world, my career always seemed to be accompanied by large feelings of anxiety and periods of major burnout, no matter how successful I found myself. This was extremely frustrating!
Things came to a head twice: first, in 2013, where I found myself the most anxious I had ever been and couldn’t push through it like I usually did. This lead to finding meditation and cognitive behavioral therapy. They were both helpful (especially the meditation), got me working more normally again, and gave me good tools to have on hand to manage my feelings.
Then, in 2018, when I was feeling quite good but still struggling with some focus issues, I decided to try neurofeedback to improve that area. Unfortunately, I responded poorly to it, and suddenly found all of my anxieties/fears/and other challenges right back at the surface, louder than they had ever been.
I was extremely fortunate to find nervous system regulation and somatic therapies at this point, and what they quickly showed me was that, while I had learned to manage my “issues” well, that’s what it was - management. None of the nervous system patterns holding them had actually been resolved.
Through this regulation work I was able to bring a sense of safety into myself that I had never had before, and this allowed me to start unwinding and resolving decades of defensive physiology, holding and bracing patterns, and feelings, on a body level, that had never been able to get the attention they needed to let go.
I quickly got back to functioning, and, over time, built a sense of resilience and presence that I had never had before. I learned to actually be in the moment without forcing it. finally able to feel more fully like myself and perform at my best without those anxious symptoms and struggles.
My passion now is helping others find that same resilience, whether it’s as a high performing athlete looking to bring more flow into their game so they can succeed at the highest level possible, an executive or therapist dealing with burnout, a musician who wants to be able to navigate the industry with less stress so that they can produce their most meaningful work, or anyone just wanting more ease and to feel better in their daily life. I’m here to help.
