Specializing In Anxiety

Psychology, along with existentialism, came into being in order to help us lead better lives and to leave behind anxieties of our past. Fortunately, today we have the most effective treatments to live less anxious and more enjoyable lives.

Anxiety takes on many forms: social, obsessions and compulsions, attachments, phobias, and post-traumatic stress to name a few. Clinical research has shown all of the above to be treatable, given the right therapeutic relationship matched with the right approach.

Often anxiety presents as something else, such as ADHD or depression, but once the anxiety has been addressed, other symptoms decrease.

Daniel uses many forms of treatment in his practice, including evidenced-based. He continues to seek advanced forms of treatment to help clients live better lives.

Great treatment should always start with a humanistic relational foundation. It has been proven through meta-analysis that if client and therapist create a relationship built on trust, then the client is far more likely to improve. Daniel strongly believes in this approach.
