"Therapy Does Help"
Dan is a great therapist! He truly listens to everything I have to say and gives the best advice. My first therapist made me weary about therapy but he made me feel very assured that therapy does help!

ARIA is a 4-stage model of change designed to support personal transformation by integrating best practices from positive psychology, behavioral science, philosophy, and change theory. The ARIA model helps individuals achieve meaningful growth by combining awareness, action, intention, and accountability throughout their journey. Each stage includes both exploratory and regulatory components to promote sustainable, values-aligned change.
The four stages of ARIA are:
1. Awareness & Acceptance
This foundational stage focuses on self-awareness and acknowledging your current reality. It encourages you to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while cultivating acceptance of where you are in your journey, without judgment. This stage helps you recognize patterns, identify limiting beliefs, and understand your values.
-
Exploratory Component (Awareness): Curiosity, Love of Learning, Creativity
-
Regulatory Component (Acceptance): Perspective, Judgment, Spirituality
2. Resilience & Resistance
In this stage, you develop the inner strength to confront challenges and setbacks while resisting negative habits or thought patterns that interfere with progress. It focuses on building emotional resilience and learning to persevere through difficulties, promoting long-term adaptability and self-discipline.
-
Exploratory Component (Resilience): Bravery, Perseverance, Zest
-
Regulatory Component (Resistance): Self-Regulation, Prudence, Forgiveness
3. Inspiration & Intention
This phase helps you discover what inspires and motivates you, providing clarity on your "why." It’s about setting meaningful intentions aligned with your values and establishing a support system to help you follow through. You tap into personal purpose and use it as a guiding light to stay motivated.
-
Exploratory Component (Inspiration): Hope, Appreciation of Beauty & Excellence, Humor
-
Regulatory Component (Intention): Kindness, Social Intelligence, Love
4. Action & Accountability
The final stage is about taking consistent, intentional action and ensuring accountability. It focuses on creating habits, tracking progress, and following through on your commitments. This phase emphasizes taking the right actions—not just any actions—while staying humble and grateful as you grow. Accountability, both self-imposed and external, is essential to this stage’s success.
-
Exploratory Component (Action): Leadership, Teamwork, Fairness
-
Regulatory Component (Accountability): Honesty, Humility, Gratitude
How ARIA Supports Personal Change
The ARIA model is designed to be cyclical, recognizing that personal transformation is not linear. You might revisit stages as you encounter new challenges or shifts in your journey. Each phase builds upon the previous one, moving you from awareness to resilience, from inspiration to action. By blending exploration and structure, ARIA promotes sustainable growth and encourages you to live authentically with purpose and integrity.
Why ARIA Matters
The ARIA framework provides a structured, yet flexible approach to change, supporting both emotional healing and goal-oriented progress. It ensures that you address all key aspects of personal transformation: understanding yourself deeply, developing resilience, aligning your actions with purpose, and staying accountable to your growth. Whether you’re pursuing personal, professional, or emotional goals, ARIA guides you step-by-step toward meaningful and lasting change.

Sessions typically last 50-60 minutes, though some mind-body services may vary. The frequency of sessions depends on your needs and goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others prefer bi-weekly or monthly check-ins. We’ll work together to create a schedule that best supports your progress
Professional Counseling focuses on emotional healing, mental health, and exploring past experiences that may impact your present. It provides therapeutic support for managing challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, addictions or grief.
Postive Psychology Coaching is future-focused and goal-oriented. It helps you identify your values, overcome obstacles, and take actionable steps toward your goals, whether personal or professional. While counseling helps with healing, coaching is designed to foster growth, clarity, and momentum.
If you’re struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, counseling might be the best fit. If you’re looking to set goals, develop new habits, navigate a life transition, or improve productivity, coaching could be more appropriate. In some cases, a blend of both services may be recommended to meet your needs.
