If you're feeling burned out, stressed, or overwhelmed, I'm glad you're here. Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, feelings of low self-worth, or with relationships (family, friends, or significant others). Burnout and stress can show up in dissatisfaction with our body image or a difficult relationship with food. Maybe you're feeling stuck or unhappy with your current job. While it is normal and natural to experience discomfort, I am confident we can work together to help you feel more at ease more of the time and to connect your life with your values.

David Hoy & Associates has immediate openings for new clients to start therapy services via online video counseling or in person. We offer flexible day and evening hours to accommodate busy schedules.

I feel passionate about helping people with trauma, anxiety, and depression to feel happiness and joy again. Do you have nightmares and flashbacks? Do you struggle with worry, stress, and panic? Do you experience sadness and isolation? Or are you grieving a loved one? If so, let me help you. You don’t have to do this alone. Together we will work as a team to create a positive change. Mental health professionals, healthcare professionals, first responders, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and other first responders are welcome.

We spend our lives in relationships. People in our familes, co-workers, friends partners, significant others, and spouses are part of life. Those relationships are valuable and may provide happiness and satisfaction. But relationships can become difficult and strained and sometimes cause us personal stress and frustration. Sometimes we might wonder if a relationship is really positive or not. Working with clients on improving their relationships is what I do most.

Reaching out for help can be a difficult and uncomfortable thing to do. If you're questioning whether or not you're ready to start therapy, you're not alone. My primary goal is to meet you where you are at and not judge or work on trying to change who you are. We start from wherever you want to start and move towards. Whether that is to work through stressful transitions and relationships, or better understanding yourself, my aim is to make you feel heard and feel safe to process.

Do you find yourself wishing your life was different in some way, but you're unsure of how to get there? Are you struggling to manage feelings of anxiety, sadness, or to cope with the stressors of everyday life? Perhaps you need someone to hear you, walk beside you, help shed light on a new perspective, motivate you, help you manage difficult emotions, or to help you make positive behavioral changes. I would be honored to be that person for you and am confident I could help you get to where you want to be.

It’s difficult enough to figure out what you want. But saying it out loud to a partner? That can be even scarier. What if we don’t want the same things? Or, worse still, what if I hurt them? Does any of this sound familiar? Many people live in silence to avoid the pain of hurting another. But at some point that backs up on you. Therapy is your place to give voice to those feelings and decide what, if anything, you want to do with them..

My work with clients is guided by each client’s strengths, resilience, and values. Putting in the work of therapy can be challenging and scary, especially in the process of trying to understand where you may be stuck in life, experiencing of intrusive thoughts, feelings of possible guilt of past actions, or living in shame. I strive to provide a safe, encouraging, and nonjudgmental environment to create a place/space for clients to hopefully feel at ease, supported, and empowered.

I also provide therapy addressing issues related to divorce with families who are invested in maintaining a positive co-parenting relationship.

Please note: limited daytime availability. If you're here, I applaud you. I understand the decision to see a therapist has many different starting points and it's not always an easy path getting here. Perhaps this is your first time seeking therapy and perhaps you've sought therapy before. No matter where you may be on your journey, I would be honored to support you. Life can be hard and experiences can feed us many lies that cause us to believe we are broken, crazy, or damaged. It is important to me that all of my clients realize the truth that they are worthy, loveable, capable, and resilient.

Now accepting Blue Cross BlueShield. I believe that each person is their own healer and is capable of living life fully.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or life stressors in general, I know it can be difficult to get up and find motivation to manage responsibilities each day.

Now you are looking for ways to sort through problems and find solutions.

For those who want to change I help beyond listening. I connect with my clients and we find ways for you to change. Change in therapy is hard and I provide support through a strong counseling relationship with you. I have a wide life experience that helps me relate to your particular life situation.

Healing occurs with an integration of the mind and body. Bringing mindful awareness to how we experience emotions in our bodies can release us from the patterns that are no longer serving us. Together we will discover your own innate ability to heal in a safe, gentle, and welcoming space.

“‘Why should I listen to my heart?’” “‘Because you'll never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life & about the world. You will never be able to escape from your heart.’” The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I've had the privilege to assist individuals to grow through curiosity into deeper awareness of their thoughts, limiting beliefs, and identification of any root issues. I enjoy assisting individuals to reconnect with the core of who they were created to be, before the world and trauma had their impacts.

Humor is one of my therapist superpowers. On the journey to greater emotional well-being, I want you to laugh, feel comfortable, and not take yourself too seriously. Seriously! Because when you're a parent worried about your child's peer relationships or your teen's behaviors or school performance, I know life can feel heavy. Even for adults dealing with typical life transitions, it can feel stressful and overwhelming. Whatever the challenge, I'm here for you. We will work together to regain the light-heartedness that makes life enjoyable.

As a human navigating this ever-changing world, it is my belief that we each hold knowledge, power, and peace within ourselves. However, it is fair to say that we don't always feel this way. I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, shame, depression, life change, and trauma. My therapeutic goal is to hold space for you, support you, and help you enrich your life. I am committed to social justice and believe that systemic dynamics influence a person's mental health. I continually strive to have a validating space for all identities, and I advocate for anti-oppression on both community and systemic platforms.

I truly enjoy working with adults who have a desire to understand their mental health and who are striving to find balance in their lives.

We are each on a personal journey, which is filled with challenges and opportunities ... seeking balance and harmony with our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions - the full integration of well-being. We often look for answers, but they do not come as quickly as we want. We become impatient, discouraged, frustrated, angry and stuck. Be patient with the process ... Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered as you walk a positive path towards growth, development and wellness.
