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.

I have had a few therapists over the years but few have been as dedicated and focused as David. He listens and makes suggestions based on a wealth of knowledge and experience in his field. He also doesn't sugar coat the truth or ignore details. Highly recommended.

I started this therapy as a suggestion if my daughter. I was given David for my therapist and I am so happy with him. He makes it easy for me to open up, I have told him things I am ashamed of, personal things that I had a hard time telling other therapists. I look forward to talking to David, he is very good at making me feel like the person I am and I am a ok person.

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.
