David is an individual, couples/relationship, and family therapist. He believes in creating a safe space where people of all backgrounds are welcome, and where clients feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. He works together with clients to empower inherent strengths and skills in those that he sees. Here, clients can discover greater feelings of connection, understanding, curiosity and mindfulness in their lives.

Clients of all ages come to me with a range of concerns, such as marital problems, mood disorders, relationship challenges, parenting struggles and other disturbances. They want the opportunity to tell their stories without judgment, to be asked the right questions, and be heard and understood. With this in mind, clients are assisted in identifying clear attainable goals for personal change in a collaborative manner, and empirically validated methods are used to help them achieve their goals.

My aim is to create a warm and supportive environment where clients are enabled to seek positive change and growth.

I count it a privilege to support clients facing mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, career counselling, life transitions, substance use, low self-esteem, or trauma. To accomplish this, I encourage clients to ask...and answer...the WHY question. WHY am I feeling anxious? WHY can’t I make relationships work? WHY can’t I get out of this funk? WHY are my thoughts so scattered? WHY do I have trust issues? WHY I am unhappy? WHY do I allow others to treat me this way? WHY do I abuse drugs, food, or alcohol? WHY do I have trouble loving myself? WHY am I so afraid of being vulnerable?
