Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dave. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready to break the cycle, let's get to work. Whether you are navigating a dark season or seeking a new frontier of growth, I can help you find the clarity and peace you’ve been looking for.

Who am I?

> A Person with Lived Experience: I am a husband of 30+ years and a father of three. I have also personally overcome clinical depression and addiction. I don’t just know the theory; I have deep empathy for your struggle—and I know the way out.

> An Experienced Guide: For over 25 years, I have served as a licensed professional, helping adults and teens navigate their darkest seasons with clarity and confidence.

> A Believing Clinician: As both a Christian and an evidence-based clinician, I will meet you exactly where you are—whether you want to integrate faith into our work or prefer a purely scientific approach.

> A Collaborative Partner: I favor action over aimless talk. While I provide a compassionate space to be heard, I will also work closely with you to help you apply proven strategies that create real-world change.

My approach to therapy

I believe good therapy reaches beyond just emotional support and symptom management. As your therapist, I will strive to help you with the following:

> Getting to the Root: Using Schema Therapy, I help you understand the deep-seated patterns that keep you stuck. We don't just pull at the leaves; we get to the core issues so you can experience lasting change.

> Holistic Integration: I address the whole person—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. By integrating your personal values with clinical science, we facilitate healing that resonates across your entire life.

> A Practical Toolkit: My goal is to work myself out of a job. By blending attachment science with real-world application, I equip you with a personalized "life-skills toolkit" to maintain your progress and thrive long after our work together is done.

What you can expect from me

From your first therapy session, you can expect the following:

> A Warm Welcome: You will find an unconditional ally from the moment we meet. You will be seen, known, and truly heard.

> A Strategic Roadmap: We will move beyond the surface to explore your unique challenges and resources, tailoring a specific plan for your circumstances.

> Empowerment: You won’t just leave with a "good feeling"—you will leave with a tangible sense of direction and hope.
