While I've only had 2 sessions with David, I have felt heard, understood, cared for, and I know I am in kind hands. I appreciate that David can joke around but takes healing seriously. I believe because he stays well-informed with new research/science, he appropriately adjusts his tactics and explanations and is therefore trustworthy. I am very excited to see where my healing work takes me with David's insight, gentle humor, and empathetic guidance.

More about David
- 20 years' experience

- LPC
I take a no-nonsense approach to human issues, using the best science available. I find that my patients tend to want real solutions, not gimmicks. I work with adults exclusively, focusing on recovery from all forms of trauma, with an emphasis on restoring neurological damage, reversing emotional dysregulation, improving damaged relational dynamics, and creating an authored life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
