HELLO I’M DAVID,
I strive to help all clients increase their confidence and sense of purpose, while building healthy relationships. It may feel better to avoid negative thoughts, emotions, or relationships rather than facing them alone. I am prepared to walk alongside and navigate these challenges with you to achieve your goals. When creating these goals, we will collaborate as a team as I believe your voice is important in this process.
My approach to therapy largely utilizes humanistic concepts which refers to genuineness, empathy, and understanding in each of our sessions. Exploring deep feelings or thoughts can feel frightening, and I ensure a safe accepting environment that can make this process a remarkably healing experience. In our work together, we may explore past experiences which can provide insight on presenting challenges. Furthermore, my therapeutic toolbox includes several Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions which helps clients gain new perspectives and recognize harmful patterns.
My holistic approach creates a safe haven for clients of all ages, gender identities, and religious or ethnic backgrounds. I have worked with individuals on a variety of symptoms including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, empathy, and grief. I have gained experience as a school counselor working with adolescents through developmental changes, managing emotions, and adjusting to life changes. I believe my enthusiasm builds trust as I enjoy making sessions fun, engaging, and educational. I have received a Gottman Level 1 training that prepares me to work with couples in enhancing communication, relationship fulfillment, and intimacy.
If you are reading this, I am here for you.
