About me

I am licensed in New Mexico with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & bipolar disorder. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have worked hand in hand with children and adults with serious mental health and problematic drug use. I have worked extensively with individuals with severe trauma and abuse. I have also run several domestic violence programs and am very familiar with the struggles that interpersonal family violence brings to the family. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance of David. He is kind and also inspiring person. His belief in the power of kindness and its impact on others' lives and the world resonated deeply with me.
I feel that I am understood. David offers practical advice on setting and achieving my goals, which has been helpful.
Above all, I feel safe and comfortable talking to him. His approach makes it easy to open up and discuss my thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.
