I'm a licensed therapist in California with over 20 years of experience helping people with various concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also have expertise in working with clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Dave has been a wonderful therapist. He listens well and reflects what he’s hearing back while adding helpful tips and ideas. I end the session with something to work on, and he’s a pleasure to talk to! A year ago, I was severely stuck mentally. I was burnt out from a job, my marriage, my family, and I felt alone and angry. I’ve done therapy before, but things never got fully resolved—just band-aided—until I hit another wall. This time, I’m sticking with Dave, and my life so far has been changing drastically for the better. So, thank you, Dave!
