Great to meet you!

Hi there, my name is David and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 19+ years of experiencing helping adults manage anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship patterns, parenting skills, and Christian faith challenges. Great to meet you!


Therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, and begin making sense of what's happening in your life.


People often come to me when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. Together, we will explore what's beneath those patterns, reconnect with your strengths, and build practical tools that help you move forward with increased clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, relational, and a strength-based perspective. I integrate evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, and Biblically based Christian Counseling, depending on what best fits your needs.


I believe therapy should feel collaborative and tailored, not one-size-fits-all. As your goals evolve, our work will evolve with them. Clients often tell me they appreciate having both emotional insight and practical skills they can apply in their daily lives. I value cultural humility, curiosity, authenticity, and creating a safe environment where all aspects of your identity and life experience are welcome.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and better understand what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your history, current concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan that feels meaningful and achievable.
