Daily Camera Article (10/14/12) featuring interview with Daniel and his work with men and boys and childhood sexual assault

Daniel was the lead author for chapter 23 HIV/AIDS: Reflecting on 15 Years in New York City in Using Art Therapy with Diverse Populations: Crossing Cultures and Abilities (2013)

Life changes. Grasp what matters. Together we can thoughtfully and constructively work together whether you are turning 13, navigating college life, stressed with relationships, struggling with traumatic experiences, or need some extra care across the life span. I have a gentle, encouraging approach and a rich history demonstrating my ability to hear and hold difficult, sensitive and painful emotions. I’m equally at ease with traditional talk therapy, art therapy or an integration of the two to help you reach your intention and allow you to be more present in your life.

My clinical specialties includes men and women with histories of childhood sexual abuse, adult sexual victimization, life transitions facing adolescents and young adults, and HIV/AIDS. Additional expertise includes the mental health care and family support for the LGBTQ community including sexual orientation, gender identity, and the coming out process.
