I’m a therapist, personal trainer, partner, and dad to three young daughters. Those roles are a big part of who I am, and have shaped the way I think about growth, relationships, resilience, and the challenge of taking care of yourself while also showing up for the people who depend on you.
I’ve spent the past 17 years working in clinical social work, much of it in service-oriented settings alongside people facing difficult and complicated circumstances. After years of doing that work within larger systems, The Long View is an opportunity to build something of my own—something that reflects how I’ve come to understand meaningful, lasting change.
About Dane
Why I started The Long View
I believe people are at their best when their emotional and physical health are working together.
Therapy has taught me the value of understanding ourselves, developing new skills, and learning to respond differently when life gets difficult. Training has taught me something complementary: the value of practice, consistency, physical capability, and learning to trust what your body can do.
The Long View brings those two parts of my life together. I wanted to create a practice where mind and body aren't treated as separate projects—where emotional and physical growth can reinforce each other, and the work is shaped around the person in front of me rather than a predetermined formula.
Professional Foundation
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor and Certified Personal Trainer with 17 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership and supervisory roles and have been actively involved in Austin’s clinical social work community. I bring that experience to The Long View alongside a collaborative, practical approach to therapy.
Movement has also been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My relationship with exercise has evolved from competitive sports when I was younger to something more familiar to many adults: figuring out how to stay strong, healthy, and capable as life and my body have changed. I’m less interested in performance for its own sake than in helping people build a relationship with movement that can serve them over time.
