LMHC, 6 years of experience
Hi, I’m David—a licensed therapist committed to supporting you through life’s challenges. I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate therapy options, but the fact that you’re exploring support is already a meaningful step forward. Are you having challenges feeling like yourself? Or maybe you are feeling stuck or in a cycle of recurring obstacles within your work or personal life. Whatever you're facing, I'm here to listen and help you move forward.
Our first session will be an opportunity for me to learn who you are and what path we can expect together. I aim to make you feel heard and understood, as this is a service for you tailored toward your personal goals. This is a good opportunity to see if I am the right fit for your needs and expectations.
In my experience, the most powerful tool in therapy is truly listening to the client. While evidence-based skills and techniques are crucial, the foundation of my practice is connecting with each client on a personal level. I take pride in making every client feel prioritized and understood, ensuring they feel heard and valued throughout our therapeutic journey.
I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate through life’s challenges, including trauma, indecisiveness, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, or fear of the future. With a compassionate and supportive approach, I provide a safe space for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. Together, we work towards healing and personal growth, empowering you to overcome obstacles and build a fulfilling and resilient life.
CBT is one of the most evidenced-based practices with proven results in therapy. What I find most helpful in using an approach rooted in CBT are the tools of reframing and redefining situations you are currently experiencing or those difficult challenges from the past. We develop automatic thoughts about what people’s intentions are or how we see ourselves. This can be adjusted through cognitive restructuring to reflect more of how we want to live rather than how we have been shaped by our experiences.
I take a Person-Centered approach, which means your goals, values, and needs guide everything we do. I’ll walk alongside you, respecting your unique perspective and helping you build clarity and confidence as you move forward. Our work together is collaborative and focused because your growth is the priority, and we’ll shape the process around what matters most to you.
I use Motivational Interviewing to help you shift the way you talk about your challenges because the words we use can shape how we see ourselves. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that hold you back and reframe your story in a way that builds confidence, self-esteem, and momentum. This approach opens up real possibilities for growth and helps you move through life’s hurdles with clarity and strength.
