At Green Leaf, Dan provides therapy for children, teens, young adults, and families, with a particular focus on supporting boys and men. He has worked with children and families for over 20 years. Before becoming a therapist, Dan spent more than a decade as a special education teacher, and most recently, he worked as a school-based therapist supporting adolescents at a local high school. These experiences give him a deep understanding of child and adolescent development, family systems, and the challenges kids face both in and out of the classroom.

​

Dan specializes in boys’ and adolescent development, helping boys and teens build resilience, confidence, and healthy coping strategies during these critical years. He also provides a supportive space for men and fathers to strengthen father-child relationships, enhance confidence, and address the unique emotional and social needs that come with balancing family, work, and identity.

​

In addition, Dan has extensive experience working with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum and supports neurodivergent clients with an affirming, strengths-based approach. He partners with families to deepen their understanding of their child’s needs, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected relationships.

​

Dan’s therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. He is currently supervised by fellow Green Leaf clinician Sandra Concannon, LMFT #52807.
