MEET Daniel (He/Him/They)
Hello all.
My name is Daniel (He/Him/They), and I’m deeply committed to creating a space where you can explore your identity in all its complexity. My central intersections include: Canadian-Italian heritage, able-bodied, male identity, eclectic spirituality, and cisgender.
My household valued a supportive and loving environment, inspiring me from a young age to share positivity and care with others. My parents, two stars in my life, emphasized each individual's unique abilities and value to society. These core experiences ground my intellect in empathy and openness, values I encompass as a reflective practitioner.
Three personal interests!: photography, chai tea, and sports.
I prioritize a client-centered and trauma-informed lens that supports understanding who you are and how your identity intersects with various systems of power and oppression. I’m here to help you create an awareness that feels empowering and affirming. This understanding is driven through active listening, empathy, curiosity, and connection.
Continued education through workshops, community connections, and individualized stories support my growth personally and professionally. I have recently pursued the following courses: Strategies for LGBTQ+, Inclusion and Cultural Protocols, and Crisis Prevention Intervention (NCI).
Together, we will explore how different parts of your identity shape your world while honoring the unique strength and resilience you bring to your journey. I am committed to ongoing learning and reflection, and I bring this mindset of growth and openness into every session. I believe in the power of solidarity—not just as a practice but as a lived experience to promote healing and personal growth. Whether your reason for seeking support is specific or ambiguous, I am keen on working toward your goals.
