David worked with me with looking at myself in the mirror and understanding that it must be you to make a change. He gave me a safe environment where I could share and not feel judged. He truly cares about his clients and wants individuals to take care of themselves.

David was awesome! I had a difficult time finding a therapist and this was a great match. He was attentive and understanding and most of all you could tell he cared about your well being. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. The homework he provided definitely helped out and I started to see a shift in my thinking. David I appreciate you and I pray and hope that you continue this work.
