Are you feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or like you’re never quite measuring up? College and graduate school can be an exciting time—but also one filled with stress, self-doubt, and pressure to figure everything out.

I'm Dan, a counselor with over five years of experience specializing in college menta...

College can feel like a constant balancing act between expectations, relationships, and the pressure to have it all figured out. I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who look successful on the outside but privately struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware–they know why they feel the way they do, but that insight alone hasn’t been enough to shift how they feel. My approach focuses on helping you reconnect with you...
*While I am not in-network with the Dartmouth Student Health Plan, I do bill that plan directly as an out-of-network provider, and students only pay a $30 copay each session.* I have been working with college-age students and young professionals throughout my career, and have previously been employed at both The University of Vermont and Dartmouth College. My goal is to understand my clients' concerns through their lens while reflecting back what seems to be getting in the way of achieving the...

Everyone looks up to you- you are resilient, go getter & just bad ass at everything you do, it makes you feel amazing! However, at times you feel overwhelmed with pressured expectations of society or your immediate circle- you feel deeply saddened behind closed doors-sometimes anxious & just need someone outside of your circle to share these hindering feelings. These challenges don’t have to define you, we c...
Navigating OCD, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions can be emotionally and physically draining. There is little more frustrating than thinking and behaving in the same ways despite knowing they contribute to these issues and other debilitating symptoms. Therapy is a place to safely explore the thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that are interfering with living a more fulfilling and rewarding life. I am a trained OCD specialist and an active member of the International OCD Founda...
Life is incredibly overwhelming at times, isn’t it? We have all kinds of expectations and demands from our family, our partners, friends, employers, professors, and even ourselves. It can seem like a harsh world and the last few years have felt especially taxing. So many young adults are inundated with stress and sadness. This can lead to feeling anxious, unfocused, unproductive, and irritable. Then the self-doubt and criticism inevitably emerge and the questions of “What is my purpose?” and ...
Often the people who find me are high achieving and highly anxious folx who use fantasy as a way to connect. I'm amazed at how much my clients talk about D&D and love how much joy and opportunity it offers. Many of my clients identify in the LGBTQ+ community as well....
Do you ever feel exhausted from taking care of everyone else? Are you the designated “therapist” for everyone in your life? Do you feel responsible for other people's emotions?

As someone who has lived this experience, I understand how exhausting it can be and how much anxiety it can cause. This pattern is often connected...

By now, you’ve probably scrolled through countless profiles, thinking, "None of these people feel right for me—who even are they?" Maybe you’ve tried therapy before but never felt like your therapist truly "got it." And yet, you know it can be helpful. Something has got to change because the way things are right now just isn’t working. You’ve managed to get by—you’ve handled the worries, feel like you've moved (mostly) past the traumas (if you can even call them that, you wonder). But "gettin...
Sometimes we don’t have anyway of knowing what we’ve been through until it’s over. Recognizing things that were harmful to us sometimes cannot happen until we are no longer in survival mode. Dealing with overwhelming thoughts, depression, anxiety, or the overwhelming emotions that can come in waves is a significant thing to have to handle. This can lead to people struggling to handle life, and even consider ending it. At Inverted Dawn, we specifically work with people who’ve reached that point w...
