Meet David

I have experience working with adults of all ages and walks of life who are suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and anger management, as well as those struggling with behavioral or relationship difficulties. With empathy, compassion, and non-judgmental attention, I create a safe and welcoming space while enabling positive changes and helping you transform your difficulties with more ease and less stress. I draw from extensive training and experience to find the right combination of therapies that will be most effective for each client.
