More about David

  • 15 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I believe that people do not struggle in isolation. Their challenges are often shaped by relationships, life experiences, opportunities, barriers, and the environments in which they live and work. My role is to help clients better understand those influences, identify their strengths, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.

I have practiced as a licensed professional counselor since 2014 and bring experience from the public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate sectors. I strive to provide a supportive, unbiased, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts and feelings, better understand the challenges they face, and identify steps toward achieving their goals.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating transitions, uncertainty, education, careers, public systems, and other life challenges. I particularly enjoy helping adults facing career transitions, students navigating higher education, and individuals coping with grief, relationship concerns, chronic illness, and major life changes.

My counseling approach is grounded in humanistic principles and emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique experiences. I strive to be practical, goal-oriented, and solution-focused while remaining flexible and responsive to each client’s needs. I view counseling as a collaborative process in which we work together to build insight, identify strengths, and create a path forward that reflects your values and goals.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
