Logotherapist, Mental Health & Addictions Counselor
I specialize in Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy – the Psychology of Meaning, and I hold licenses in Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Addictions Counseling. I’ve spent the past 25 years working with individuals, families, and businesses to help improve existential crises, communication, culture, relational dynamics, and conflict management, and a variety of other issues. That’s an estimated 50,000 hours of 1:1 consultation and group facilitation. I help people understand the importance of MEANING, PURPOSE, and RESILIENCE through my work with The Meaning Project Community, Cardeon, The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Ketamine Assisted Therapy and various other endeavors. To learn more, have a look at my About (link) section, or reach out to discuss how I can help you.
Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy

The aim is to create altered states of consciousness that can help people access thoughts, emotions, and memories in ways that may be difficult in ordinary states of mind. While Ketamine and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is entirely legal throughout all 50 states, other psychedelic substances have varying degrees of legality in the US.

As I have been working on (finally) bringing The Meaning Project Community to life, I've been taking a lot of deep dives into the history of my work - Viktor Frankl, Logotherapy, Ketamine & Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, and, of course, the Myers Briggs Typer...
When Motivation Isn’t the Problem — Meaning Is
It’s Monday morning. You tell yourself you need to “get focused.”“Be disciplined.”“Try harder.” But what if motivation isn’t the real issue? What if the deeper problem is meaning? So often we assume that when our energy dips or our drive fades, something is wrong with...
The End of the World (and Why It Feels So Close)
I fell into a pretty deep dark hole a few weeks ago. I hinted at it here. I wrote about it, then shelved it, publishing something more "positive" for that Monday's Mental Health and Meaning update. But then, this week, I saw a lot of my clients in that hole - and it...
Once you’ve built up the courage to seek help, it can sometimes take a few days to get in touch and schedule an appointment. That is one of the reasons I created The Meaning Project Podcast and the Youtube Channel to go along with it. I hope you can find some guidance or even ideas to put into your life there. Take care. – Dan
