Daniel provides a comprehensive range of formal assessments and grounds his therapeutic work in an integrative approach rooted in rational thought, helping clients gain clarity and reduce confusion. Yet, his work extends far beyond cognitive understanding—particularly in cases of trauma and emotional disturbances—by tuning into the often-overlooked messages conveyed by emotions and the body. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the foundation of his practice, Daniel enriches his approach with insights from Narrative Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to illuminate the emotional landscape. He also draws on Somatic Experiencing Therapy to address physical sensations and bodily distress, and utilizes Internal Family Systems Therapy to untangle the deep-seated hold of trauma, offering clients a holistic path to healing.
