Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
"Hi, I’m David. I believe that everyone has a unique story, and I’m here to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be heard, understood, and supported in your journey toward healing and growth. Whether you're navigating life's challenges, facing stress or anxiety, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I'm here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, empathy, and tools for personal empowerment.
My approach is warm and collaborative—this is your journey, and I’m here to help you navigate it in a way that feels right for you. I strive to foster an environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly, without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll work at your pace to uncover strengths, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.
With experience supporting individuals from all walks of life, I offer a flexible, strengths-based approach that draws from a variety of therapeutic models. My goal is to empower you to take charge of your mental well-being and live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Feel free to reach out, and we can begin the conversation about how therapy can help you on your path to healing."
