Dr Daniel Kupper

Clinical Psychologist

“My professional life consists of doing psychodynamic psychotherapy with adults and couples, teaching, and supervising other clinicians.”

About Me

As a clinical psychologist, I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults and couples. We work collaboratively to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present challenges. This approach helps you make sense of recurring difficulties, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. It is ideal for those seeking lasting change beyond immediate symptoms, finding clarity and new perspectives.

Approach

In sessions I listen for patterns in how you feel and relate, and we pause on moments that tend to repeat in relationships and mood. I use attentive listening, reflective questions, and gentle challenge to help you notice connections between present reactions and earlier life, keeping conversation focused and paced to what feels manageable. Between meetings I may suggest brief reflections or small experiments to try in daily life so insights aren’t just discussed but practiced. This style suits those seeking steady, gradual change.
