Hi I'm Dave! I’m really happy you’re here—no one should have to navigate life alone. I work with both adults and couples. Therapy with me is like a warm, compassionate conversation with a close friend, where tears and even laughter can be found. I have experience supporting people through depression, ADHD, loss and grief, anxiety, identity exploration, navigating life’s transitions, understanding your relationship patterns and finding the right path of healing that works for you. Alongside my work as a therapist, I’m also a musician and artist with years of experience performing across Canada.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe we all have an innate ability to heal and grow. However, sometimes, we get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. These patterns can show up as anything from people pleasing, perfectionism, relentless self-doubt, or ongoing relationship challenges. I can help you recognize, understand, and shift those patterns.
I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, but I also know the power of having someone in your corner. Therapy can be a transformative experience—a space where you feel safe, understood, and able to explore what actually works for YOU. I’d be honoured to hear your story and work with you to create meaningful change in your life.
