Dave is great and helps me work through my issues

Written on May 01, 2023 after therapy with David for 10 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

David helped me identify and notice the things that trigger my anxiety before it gets too bad and I feel overwhelmed. When the spiral begins, I have just found it easier to focus on that, talk about it rationally with myself and others, and move past it. I am not great at asking for help, something I am working on, and as my first therapist David made the process very easy and comfortable.

If you’re needing a counselor who listens, gives you feedback offers you advice and teaches you skills to practice Dave is your guy. He’s a champion for you and always is in your corner!

David is amazing! Always timely, checks in on a regular basis, respectful and honest. While it might not be entirely ideal working on therapy in a virtual matter, I feel as if David has made it a non factor in our relationship and communication. Would recommend to anyone I know. 10/10!
