Navigating today's complicated world can be incredibly difficult... Romantic relationships, family, job, finances, health, general stress... And who can we talk to when we need to confide our deepest challenges? Who do we turn to when we've tried everything we can think of and finally realize we need some help?
Choose a therapist who gets real results! Unlike most of my colleagues who mainly utilize Psychoanalytic and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) therapies, my practice also uses Solution-Focused and Motivational-Enhancement approaches. I've extensive experience successfully counseling clients through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, substance use (including food/weight gain), confidence and self-esteem, sexual and performance issues, grief/loss and trauma, as well as other more serious psychological challenges... As a generalist I will help you face any and all obstacles that have stood in the way of your becoming the best you that you can be.
Whether this is your first time seeking help or if you've not gotten the results you hoped for from therapy in the past, together we will take a fresh new approach, make quick progress, and then support those gains as you move forward... Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed, not endured. You deserve some inner peace, so let's get you on the road towards a fresh start!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dave gives usable advice in his sessions unlike other counselors I have had.
Dave is down to earth, very knowledgeable, very relatable, and gives excellent counsel. He's in this to help people and he helped me tremendously. I spent about a year in counseling with him and it was the right decision. Thank you for everything Dave.
Dave is a phenomenal therapist that really understands men’s issues and things that men go through in the modern world. I would highly recommend him to anybody else. He’s been very helpful to me a very good listener and is just top-notch.
What can I say about David? He has been so good at addressing my concerns and has been such a great motivator. David has truly been the therapist I needed
They say the best things go a long way in small doses. After only one session with Dave, I knew he was "my" therapist. I've spent years in therapy. Being a bipolar person that's not abnormal. I keep a tight schedule with my therapists, and until I found Dave, I'd had little relief from counseling. Now, just months in, I have the best grasp on myself that I've ever had. Give him a try--this fishing boat captain of a therapist, this man of the untoward, this man of unashamed intellect.
He is a great therapist with a lot of experience with a variety of situations. He is knowledgeable and very friendly. He doesn't sugar coat anything and tells you the truth. He gets right to the point.
David's life experience and how he handles problems is very refreshing it takes a non-complicated view of a very complicated problem and gives you straightforward answers and how to get things accomplished
One of the best therapists I've ever worked with. Genuinely lucky and blessed to have him as my therapist.
Dave is a legend, truly fun to talk to. I feel confident in his system and have hope for the first time in a long while.
Dave has been a great help in my life. He genuinely cares about my success and the things that are going on. He relates to me in a manner that most people could not accomplish. He has challenge me to make some changes in my life that I’ve made it much better. For that I am forever grateful he has been an awesome Therapist and I would recommend him to any other person who just needs a little push in the right direction.
I’ve had 4 sessions with David and there was an immediate connection and appreciation. He’s unbiased, open and has me come to what almost seems like a breakthrough each session in my realizations or behaviors. Highly highly highly recommended.
I’ve been working with David for a little over 1 month. He is taking the time to listen to me, get to know me and give sound advice and guidance. David has embraced my request on how I would like therapy to be done, while he has educated me on the benefits of trusting the process. I like that he’s able to help me work through real life with situational therapy. It’s a much more peaceful approach. I look forward to continuing to work with David has we unpack the trauma & pains of my life.
After a couple of dissapointing experiences with other therapists, it was a great releif to find David. He really understands how to make me feel comfortable talking to him. He is very understanding, yest practical and adaptive. I have gained a tremedous amount of maturity and skill as a result of working with him. I would recommend him a thousand times over.
Easy to talk with Knowledgeable in helping with my needs I look forward to our calls
Really has helped me. Im glad i started therapy with him.
David was so understanding. Even though my time with him was short-lived due to my own personal reasons, he was very accommodating and understood. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who listens and is willing to exceed expectations to help.
David is very understanding and also very attentive to my needs, he offers great solutions to issues I have a hard time dealing with.
David has been a great help for me. Whenever I have an issue I just sent him a message and we discuss and then further discuss in our sessions. It is very helpful to talk about these types of things.
