Hi there, I'm David!

I am a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with private practice clients, in-patient medical and psychiatric patients, and Employee Assistance Counseling (EAP). I look forward to helping you.

My approach

My eclectic approach uses some of the following treatment techniques: visualization, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and psychodynamic and humanistic interventions. I focus on the client's existing strengths and coping skills.

My focus

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety-related issues, parenting problems, career challenges, adjustment to illness, and end-of-life issues. I am willing to see individuals and couples.

My communication style

My counseling style is relaxed, accepting, client-focused and non-judgmental.

My goals for you

My job is to assist you in reaching your desired goals, and I will focus your therapy on the goals you set for yourself.

My first session with you

I believe the most challenging part of therapy is realizing that you need professional help to resolve a problem. If you are ready to work on improving your life, setting goals, and reaching those goals, I am here as your professional guide.
