Hi there, I'm David!

My approach to therapy is client-centered and empathic. Tell me your life story, and I will design a personalized treatment plan that takes into consideration all the major people and events in your life that have influenced and led you to the present day.

My focus

I work with clients of all ages. My main focus has been with child/adolescent, family therapy, couples counseling, and adult individuals. I have effectively treated depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, ASD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, reproductive trauma, and many others.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful and unhealthy patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior. Figuring out what these patterns are and becoming skilled at catching them as they occur is the key to positive change and mental and emotional health.

My communication style

In our sessions, you will find me to be a non-judgmental, supportive advocate who is always willing to listen and learn about your struggles, challenges, and successes!

My journey to mental healthcare

It's been a long journey to get here! I worked in a variety of fields and occupations, always feeling like something was missing. I finally took the leap into a doctoral program after realizing that my true calling was in the field of psychology where I could help people work through their challenges and fully realize their potential.

My goals for you

Life and positive change can be overwhelming! Setting reasonable, manageable goals and expectations is extremely important. I can help you achieve your goals through open and supportive communication and a well-thought-out, carefully structured plan.

Our first session

In our first session, I will allow you to communicate your circumstances to me at a comfortable pace. I will be a good listener who will patiently answer any questions you have about therapy, diagnosis, goal-setting, expectations, etc.
