Hi, Iā€™m David, and I believe that doing deep healing work for yourself and your family is the most heroic journey of all.

I know it’s possible to heal from childhood and family trauma and all the persistent problems that it creates because I’ve not only helped many people do so, I’ve also traveled this path myself. In the process of working through my own history and mental health struggles, including depression, anxiety, codependency, divorce, grief, parenting and coparenting issues, and family dysfunction, I tried just about every type of therapy available. I know how hard it is to find help that actually helps, and just how much change is possible when you do.

When I work with individuals, couples, families, and organizations around childhood and family trauma, relationship issues, parenting and divorce, or living with Autism, it isn’t just book learning that I bring to the process. I show up as an authentic human being and fellow traveler who has walked the path myself. I offer deep compassion, nonjudgment, and wisdom ā€“ as well as extensive professional experience.

As a therapist, counselor, writer, and coach, I’m passionate about helping fellow humans heal in mind, heart, body, spirit, and relationships because I know exactly how crucial this work is. It can transform not just your own life but that of everyone connected with you. I truly believe that by healing ourselves, we have the potential to heal the world.

Thanks to my own journey, as well as my years of experience, I have complete faith that we can work together to bring more joy and peace into your life. I’m especially passionate about working with healers and helpers ā€“ parents, teachers, caregivers, healthcare workers, fellow therapists ā€“ because I know how crucial, and challenging, our role is.
