I’ve worked with David twice now, and both experiences have been extremely valuable. The first time was during a difficult breakup, and he helped me navigate and process complex emotions with clarity and compassion. I returned for general therapy and dating support, and he continues to provide thoughtful insights, practical tools, and a steady presence. I always leave sessions feeling steadier and more self-aware.

I have been talking with David for a couple weeks now, I know that’s not a super long time but what I can tell you is that he is very knowledgeable on a variety of different scenarios and does a great job with listening and giving an immediate response and effective mediation for each issue on the spot. He has helped turn my life around in very short time. I notice a night and day difference from 2 sessions ago, I was in a dark place and I think it’s safe to say that I am happy. That’s something I never thought I would be able to say again. He also connects transparently by relating to his own experiences. Thankful to have the opportunity to speak with him the information he gives out is not to be taken for granted.
