About

I love being a certified Health and Life Coach. I've taken additional study to become an ISSA-Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist. But what makes me stand out is I am also certified Spiritual Director, a DNA-Based Fitness Coach, and have re-specialized my life coaching into the fields of Love/Relationship, Career, Money, and Spirituality.

Counseling, grief counseling, and pre-marital counseling is what gets me out of bed every day. Besides the doctoral-level education and four years of clinical rotations doing chaplaincy, I consider counseling my vocation and ministry.

During clinical rotations, there was a psychiatric patient who would follow me around the unit, but she was unable to speak. I let her follow me unless I was having a confidential conversation with someone else. When she recovered from her trauma and regained the ability to speak, she came up to me to thank me. She said I was the only one who treated her like a person. Others were nice but didn't really "get" what she needed. This and other clinical "adventures" are what help me feel that I am making an impact everyday!

    I have known and worked with Daniel for over three years. During this time, he has counseled and nurtured me through the death of my husband and my own personal spiritual journey. With compassion and gentle guidance, he helped me heal and find personal spiritual peace and growth. His many years of education and work experience make him the quintessential coach to select when searching for a counselor to work with. I am so grateful to Daniel for all that he has done for me.

    He was warm, genuine, and caring yet very professional. He listened intently and carefully to what I said and provided helpful responses.
    In addition to comments and suggestions, he often asked questions that made me think more deeply about what I had brought up.
    His breadth of experience was extensive. He was very confident and inspired me to have confidence in myself.
    There was a time when I was in grieving over a significant loss. His compassion meant so much. He made me feel like I wasnt walking through my grief alone.
    I recommend Daniel whole-heartedly as a spiritual director and grief counselor.

    Frequently asked questions

    My first session with a coaching client or spiritual directee is a free 15-minute consultation. Together, in our free meet-and-greet, you get to decide if we vibe as companions on the journey. After deciding to work together, the process then involves two 1-page forms, as well.

    My formal education comes through the University of Chicago Divinity School through Meadville/Lombard, Hartford Seminary for religious studies and interfaith ministry, and Pacific School of Religion at Berkeley, where I completed the Doctorate of Ministry and the Certificate of Sexuality and Religion.

    My coaching, spiritual counseling, and spiritual direction formation and certification come through programs at the Health Coach Institute, the International Sports Science Association's (ISSA), the Mercy Center (Madison, CT), the Urban Spirituality Center, and the Society of Certified Spiritual Directors which yielded the Advanced Practice Board Certified Spiritual Director (APBCSD®) credential.

    Additional chaplaincy training includes 1,600 clinical hours from Stamford and Norwalk Hospitals (CT), making me eligible to be a Board Certified Chaplain.

    Other designations include Certified Dementia Practitioner and Certified Senior Advisor.

    My spiritual directees pay an honorarium that is both comfortable and meaningful for them following our free intake session. Normally, my directees feel a $70-120 honorarium is meaningful. 

    My coaching clients pay $200-250 (sliding scale) per 45-minute individual session, depending on how many sessions they sign up for. Some insurances reimburse 100% for my health coaching services. 

    Parish ministry helps a pastor cultivate a handful of helpful skills. I also cultivated the ability to engage in long-term counseling and run spirituality groups as a healthcare chaplain in a long-term care facility, as a pastoral psychotherapist, and as a spiritual director/coach.

    My coaching clients and spiritual directees range in lifestyle, from nonprofit guru to seminarian, from high-profile editor to struggling realtor. 

    Whether you're contacting me for spiritual direction or coaching, I'm going to ask you the same question: What is your personal mission? From there, everything else falls into place for my clients.
