My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

Hello! My approach to therapy adheres to what is a mutually agreed upon the best interest of the individual/s framework. Therapy tends to be more effective when it is conducted in a collaborative fashion. Law, ethics, morals, roles and responsibilities are important foundations of the therapeutic milieu. All forms of safety including psychological and physical safety are at a premium.I have decades working with individuals that have experienced from mild symptoms to chronic poly-trauma induced types; including poly-neglect types with children age from birth to the age of majority. I continue to enjoy working with people from the age of birth to the age of passing, individuals, couples, groups, professions including private sector, military/military family members, law enforcement, and more. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!

David is empathetic and he was able to get me to quickly open up. He's fun and direct. I think it's fair to say he's also quirky, which I like. He was able to pin me down and quickly understand what I'm about.

Overall, I had a positive experience during my call with David. I found him to be a good match for me as a therapist, and I felt comfortable opening up about my situation. While the main goal of this call was to undergo an ADHD assessment, that didn’t happen. However, David reassured me that it will be addressed.
