I am in my 6th year as a Licensed Professional Counselor, this is who I am, not what I do. Doing what I love is effortless and natural to me so our time together may also feel natural and easy. Most of my professional experience has centered around fear-based struggles: stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, transitions, relationships, past experiences... I use these terms that are common however they feel like boxes; my finding is that everyone comes into these spaces differently, experiences them differently and moves out of them differently.
Counseling is an art form; I am here to assist you with identifying and then creating the picture you want for your life. The canvas for this is a Person-Centered approach. The originator of this philosophy, Carl Rogers, said this is often all that is needed to facilitate change. I have a variety of other tools for us that may prove useful; DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Breathwork, Yoga, Transactional Analysis, Hypnotherapy, Existential Therapy, Trauma Therapy and REBT are the most common. They are all amazing in their own way.

David is an excellent therapist. I'm new to therapy and I was initially assigned a therapist that I did not click with. I joined David's mens group therapy session and I enjoyed his energy so I put in a request to have him as my personal therapist. I'm glad I did. I feel that David really listens to me, he remembers what we talked about. He is attentive, Introspective and relatable. Very comfortable to talk to and genuine in his approach. He understands and respects the spiritual components to life. Highly recommended

David is an extremely caring, understanding, and helpful person. He has been highly polite and reads the room far better than I expected from online therapy. David is one of the best, and I highly recommend him.

David was able to help me resolve negative self-worth issues that have been plaguing me for over 35 years. Working with David I've also been able to improve my relationship with my daughters and my wife. I am deeply grateful for David's guidance and support. I felt seen and heard. I highly recommend working with David.
