Tired of pretending you have it all together?
My practice is a safe space to unpack the heavy stuff.
Do any of these sound familiar?​​
You’re overwhelmed.
​
Someone asks how you are, and you answer, “I’m fine.” But inside? You’re definitely not fine. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or a messy life transition, it drains all your energy. You deserve to actually feel as good as you pretend to be.​
​
​You’re recovering.
​
Recovery and sobriety are an ongoing process that looks different every day. We can discover and develop healthy coping skills to support you, and build a solid foundation for your new path.​
You’re a helper who
also needs some help.
​
People in helping professions spend a massive amount of energy providing support and guidance to others. Finding time to care for yourself can be a challenge. Trust me, I understand that dynamic, and I can help you prioritize your own well-being.
​
You’re feeling targeted
and isolated.
​
If you’re feeling like an outsider due to your identity or orientation, you have a safe space in my office.
Counseling for adults in every season of life.
Whether you’re a college student or a retiree, I’m here to support you. I value the unique stories that come from different backgrounds and mental health journeys.
​
I pride myself on building authentic connections with adult clients ages 18 and up. I share many interests with younger clients, and offer older clients the perspective of a peer who has lived a full life — or as one client put it, someone who has “a few miles” on him.
​
My practice is secular and affirms the full spectrum of gender, sexuality, and racial identity. I offer a space free of judgment or specific agendas, so you can simply be yourself. My goal is to understand your world.
“I was lucky to have David as part of my healing journey for four years. Therapy always seemed intimidating because I was scared that some of my deeper thoughts were going to be 'too much.' David made me feel comfortable from the moment we sat down together, and I will never forget the relief I felt to finally have someone help me work through the boxes of trauma I had stored away.
His ability to read people is uncanny, and he has superior intuition and empathy. We were able to breach extremely difficult topics... and, most importantly, he helped me establish a level of trust in myself that I never thought possible. I am forever grateful for the work we did together.”
