David worked with me with looking at myself in the mirror and understanding that it must be you to make a change. He gave me a safe environment where I could share and not feel judged. He truly cares about his clients and wants individuals to take care of themselves.

David is a knowledgeable person who is helping me overcome intimacy troubles and emotional walls I’ve built as well as providing me with techniques to apply in real time. He has helped me prevent further destructive behaviors to my relationship by being understanding and thoughtful. I appreciate his honesty and ability to provide a safe space for me to express myself in ways I wouldn’t have before. He has also helped me gain a different point of view on my career path and true calling by listening and giving his opinion to which I am truly grateful for. The positive affirmations he has provided are helping shift my mindset. Thank you!

David was awesome! I had a difficult time finding a therapist and this was a great match. He was attentive and understanding and most of all you could tell he cared about your well being. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. The homework he provided definitely helped out and I started to see a shift in my thinking. David I appreciate you and I pray and hope that you continue this work.
