Adult Individual Therapy

David works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and challenges with executive functioning. He understands that, over time, we all develop patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding that can become automatic or unconscious. While these patterns may have served an important purpose at one point in our lives, they do not always continue to serve us as our circumstances change.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), David helps clients develop greater awareness of these patterns and discover new, more flexible ways of responding. His approach is grounded in seeing each person as a whole, complex individual, with an emphasis on understanding the relationship between our internal experiences and the world around us.

Together, David and his clients work toward greater authenticity, balance, and a deeper sense of connection with themselves and their lives.

Child-Family Therapy

When working with children and families, David believes therapy should be approachable, engaging, and, whenever possible, playful. At the heart of his work is a simple belief: children do not make difficult choices on purpose. In the moment, even a choice that looks like the “wrong” one is usually the best choice a child believes is available to them.

Understanding this can be a tremendous relief for both children and parents. Rather than focusing on what a child is doing wrong, David helps children understand what is happening beneath their behavior and discover new choices that work better for them. This can be especially helpful when children are navigating the complex dynamics of school, home, friendships, and family life.

For younger clients, David describes his approach simply as “more fun, less problems.” Through a combination of play, creativity, and semi structured therapeutic activities grounded in positive psychology, children can develop new skills, build confidence, and experience meaningful change.

David also works closely with parents and caregivers, helping families understand one another more clearly and create environments where children can thrive.

Teen Therapy

The teenage years are a unique time of transition. Teens are learning to become independent while still needing the security, guidance, and care of the adults around them. There is no single path to becoming an autonomous adult, and each young person needs the space and support to discover who they are and how they want to move through the world.

David sees adolescence as a bit like entering a dark room filled with unfamiliar obstacles. You know you need to find your way forward, but you cannot always see what is in front of you. Along the way, teens will stumble, make mistakes, disappoint themselves and others, and sometimes struggle to understand their own choices. These experiences are a natural part of learning to navigate adulthood.

Therapy can provide a place where teens can explore these experiences with an authentic, nonjudgmental adult who listens, encourages, and helps them make sense of what they are going through. David works to help teens recognize their strengths, develop greater self awareness, and find their own path toward becoming the most authentic version of themselves.
