More about David

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have spent most of my career working to help people that have experienced trauma understand their own narrative. Sometimes, life events occur in adulthood that necessitate short term intervention to assist us to process, understand and reset.

My treatment approach involves not only listening, but more importantly, hearing exactly what each person chooses to tell me so that I can understand their unique issue and help them move forward. Your treatment plan will be created by you and for you so that the piece of you that has been impacted is made whole. I look forward to meeting you and working together to empower you to be excited about today, tomorrow and your future.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I couldn’t be happier w/ David’s help and support thru some of the most complicated times of my life. Very grateful to have him as a therapist — full of wisdom, wit, and insight. Much appreciated!

Reviewed August 2024

From the very first session I felt extremely comfortable discussing my therapy goals and what I hope to achieve. David explained his process in a way that made sense. Our time spent together was productive and I felt like I was already on my way to understanding more about why I am the way that I am and what I need to do to be and feel better.

Reviewed July 2024

David is fantastic. He's informal enough that it's more like a conversation than a therapy session, but he hits on issues that require me to think and ask myself questions.

Reviewed July 2024

Very intelligent and insightful in helping me figure out the processes I need.

Reviewed May 2024

David is a great listener but also offers a unique perspective. I wanted to have a therapist that gets straight to the point and I'm glad David was able to give me that while also making it a safe space for me to be vulnerable. Our sessions make me feel understood and also gives me that push to grow.
