I am taking new clients. As a solution-focused therapist, I will guide you to achieve your goals by helping you uncover your inner strengths and resources so that you can reach your true potential. By applying effective therapy techniques, you will uncover the unconscious issues, emotions, and limiting beliefs that are blocking you from resolving your problems and enjoying a more fulfilling and meaningful life. My approach involves resolving past hurts through inner child healing, which frees you to transform into your ideal self.

Do you currently feel stuck in life no matter what you try to do? Do you wish things could change but you're not sure how to go about it? If so, you are not alone. We all stumble and fall sometimes, whether in our friendships, relationships, work, and more. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help - you do not have to do this alone! I enjoy actively participating in collaborative care with my clients. No matter the issue, you and I will work as a team to conquer all! I provide culturally-minded, comprehensive, and holistic care to adults, utilizing an integrative and collaborative treatment approach.

I can help those who are faced with difficult decisions, life crises, taxed relationships, past trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, addiction, and vicarious trauma (or caregiver fatigue). All with acceptance and interest in you achieving your goals. You deserve it!

Psychotherapy is a continual process of self-awareness and growth. By identifying and changing our maladaptive and dysfunctional patterns, we have the opportunity to move towards healthier ways of living, and relating to others. I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and adolescents who are seeking to improve the quality of​ their lives and relationships. As a licensed mental health counselor and a marriage & family therapist, my clinical experience includes working with individuals and families within various treatment settings, in order to make progress towards overcoming what may seem like insurmountable challenges.

Happiness is the only true measure of success. When we realize that something is impeding our journey of life a conscious choice can be made to change that which is keeping greater happiness at bay. The other choice is to remain on our current path and choose to accept things exactly for how they are. Self-doubt, fears, anger, grief, past trauma, or maladaptive behaviors, challenge many good people. Whether it is personal growth you seek or better relationships with loved ones, neighbors, or coworkers - permit me to be your professional guide on the road to your success.

You should have been given a rule book for life but no one offered you one. You recognize that you want solutions not just a passive listener.

As a solution focused therapist David specializes and has devoted his life to relationship issues, anxiety and anger management. David knows that time, love, and happiness are what we all want more of. David uses proven methods that can help manage your feelings, boost your confidence, manage conflict, overcome your anxieties and banish depression.

My approach to therapy with adults is based upon the belief that everyone has the power to heal oneself. My role is to serve as a guide, a facilitator or a conduit depending on the needs of my clients. The longer I practice, the more I realize that the key to "treat" human conditions is through light, love and compassion. I have a lot of success working with people who suffer from trauma (e.g., sexual abuse), anxiety, severe depression and life changing events (e.g., severe illness, loss of a love one). Therapy process includes inner child work, shadow work and energy healing.

With two decades of working with court-ordered clients needing to address anger management and relationship violence, I help individuals and couples understand how their childhood and adolescent experiences effect their approach to marriage and families. Changes cannot be made until we understand our baggage, why it gets us triggered, and how to deal with it positively within your relationship. I love helping individuals identify and understand the pieces of their puzzles. I approach counseling to teach clients about Relationships 101, which I refer to as “common sense made obvious.” I help clients to re-write their “programs.”

Evolution can be messy. Healing and growth are non-linear processes which may feel challenging at times. A holistic approach to healing ensures that we are addressing all facets of the human experience, creating a space to discover our truest and most authentic selves, even when it feels like a hurdle. Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) put it best, “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” I aim to make therapy a safe container where those questions can be explored, either one-on-one in an individual therapy session, or for couples, in a joint session.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to the client I am working with.

I also work with families who may be struggling with behavior management issues (tantrums, emotion dysregulation in young children).

I welcome you to an environment where you can feel safe being YOU. As a therapist, I value kind, non-judgemental, compassionate, and open discussions. I understand that taking this step means you that want change. I respect that change can be difficult, and value your bravery.
