Hi there, I'm David!

My approach focuses on the treatment of big "T" and little "t" trauma by focusing on getting to know and guiding progress with my clients at their own pace.

My focus

I have experience working with adult individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, living with HIV, and veterans. I am happy to work with individuals regardless of their diagnosis, as trauma does not discriminate. I am also happy to work with individuals living with substance use disorder, both in recovery and actively using.

My approach

My approach to behavioral health is grounded in the harm reduction framework. In taking the time to get to know people on their terms. In how people relate to the various stresses that bring them into care. In a version of recovery that extends beyond substance use and into what a person uses substances to find relief from.
