Great to meet you!

I was born in Africa but of Indian parents from Goa, India. I earned my AA degree at St. Francis de Sales College in Nagpur. I got my B.Ph in philosophy in Poone, India. I earned my STL from the Catholic University of Fribourg, Switzerland. I earned my MA in Psychology at the Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, and my Doctorate in Clinical and Social Psychology at the Wright Institute of Los Angeles. I began working as a Marriage and family therapist in 1976 and Ph.D in 1991.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I tell people that I stole flowers from other people's gardens but the bouquet is mine.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe in short term therapy. I try to help the patient to clean the past, focus on the present and be ready to face the future with confidence. It is very important to build up their self esteem as it is the foundation of our character.

David's style is
