About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois and Indiana, 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.

David has been very understanding and easy to talk to. I feel we have effective conversations and he has helped to point out some spacific work points and has helped me to work through those in a way that makes me feel good about doing it. He is patient and pleasant. I've enjoyed my time with him and the ease of use through the betterhelp platform.

For the small time I’ve known David he’s very emotionally receptive, caring, and understanding. It’s really hard to find someone like that in therapy for myself personally but I feel like we’re a really good match and he can help me become who I was meant to be.

David is an outstanding therapist. I've worked with him for awhile now and am very appreciative of the time he takes to listen, comment and provide insights not considered. He helps me work through complex feelings in a very clear, methodical and caring way.
