You want to enjoy your family and your work, but you're stressed out and exhausted trying to keep up with it all. Sometimes you snap, or need your space, but then you feel guilty and get hard on yourself because you don't want to let anyone down. You're spread too thin and struggle to make time for yourself, and your health and relationships are taking the hit. You wonder "Why does everyone else seem like they can juggle so many things, and I'm so exhausted I'm ready to collapse?" But of course you don't show that, everyone thinks you're fine. Life doesn't have to be this way. You can change this, and it's ok to ask for help!

I find that clients who benefit from my services are typically experiencing excessive stress or a personal crisis in their lives. They may struggle with feelings of anxiety, grief, guilt or depression on a periodic or chronic basis; they may face work problems or ongoing health problems that increase their psychological distress; they may also feel confused or disheartened by relationship problems with partners, family members or friends. I am able to assist these clients by helping them understand the underlying source of their problems and by developing realistic alternatives that can help resolve these issues.

You’ve worked hard and invested a lot to get where you are, but now it feels like something’s missing. You're just not thriving.

I’m passionate about helping you tap into your wisdom and rediscover your deepest authenticity and joy.

As a trained Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT-IT), I bring a systems lens to peoples’ lives and understand how emotional wellbeing is deeply impacted by past and current relationships at home, school, work, and in the community. My practice focuses on partnering with clients (individuals, couples and families) to heal from grief and loss, career/work stress and exploration, perinatal depression/anxiety, parenting children with special needs, and processing the emotional hardships associated with health concerns and aging. Together, we'll create new ways to heal.

Sometimes you feel like your life just isn’t what you want it to be. Maybe for reasons you can identify, or ones you can’t quite figure out. Whether it’s your relationships, career, or sense of self, you want something to be different but don’t know how to get there. You may have tried changing things on your own but it hasn’t worked. The pressure of expectations from yourself and others weighs on you, so even when you do try it's hard to feel like anything is good enough. You’re left with a sense of longing, or worry that there must be something wrong with you. We all struggle and strive, but often feel alone in that process.

Bodhi: "Awakening" or "enlightenment" . Humans have an innate need for connection. We long to be acknowledged, accepted, and understood. Often, however, we move through life unsure of who we really are and how to form genuine connections with others. We shape-shift to fit the mold of others' expectations which can lead to feelings of fear, resentment, and anger. This disconnect can cause interpersonal conflict and impact our families, friendships, and careers. Sometimes it feels as if we stumble through life with no direction. What would it mean to have a sense of awakening to oneself? to be enlightened to the authentic you?

David believes in not only helping the individual facing challenges, but helping that person also build their supports that are around them outside of session. David is a military veteran who knows the struggle of being trauma informed and also person-centered in care. What works for one, doesn't always work for the other. David believes in treating the person and not the diagnosis because we are not what the words say we are!

I like to think I'm not the typical shrink and am often told, "You're not what I expected." That's a good thing. I'm sarcastic, will probably talk about smoking meats at some point, and love my Detroit Lions. As the owner of Thin Line Psychological Services, I work primarily with public safety employees. If that is you, then you already know the job takes a toll. Many clients contact me because they either see changes in themselves or changes have been pointed out by loved ones and they want to address them before things get worse. I work with a lot of clients dealing with burnout and feeling "flat" or unemotional when off duty.

In a supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they want.
