About

In pursuit of balance in life, the therapy journey may be what we need to help find balance and healing. Opting for therapy reflects a commitment to developing equilibrium by inviting the guidance of an experienced companion on this journey. As we navigate this path, focus shifts toward “fine tuning” certain aspects of life. Together we cultivate a safe and meaningful therapeutic bond, built upon trust, empathy, and collaboration. This connection creates an environment that encourages free and open expression, guiding us towards this balance and harmony we seek.

Over the years, he has worked with diverse individuals, including children, families, couples, and adults, across various settings such as psychiatric hospitals, community agencies, clinics, and private practice.

Dave’s therapeutic approach centers on empowering individuals to facilitate their own healing through mindful living, self-discovery, and cultivating profound self-acceptance and love.
