About
I have been a licensed clinical social worker since 1990. I have seen hundreds of clients, I've received many hours of training, supervision and consultation. I can offer solutions at the first session. Working with people who are motivated to change is the very best thing about my job. Through my years of experience and contact with many people, I can offer solutions that work well and quickly. When the solutions don't work, I can help explore the barriers that stand in the way of growth and positive change. It's very exciting to help people come to new understandings about themselves, about their partners, about their careers and that is what I love most about my job.

Hired on Thumbtack

my husband and I went to Dave because we were having marital trouble. We would find ourselves in constant arguments and both of us were very unhappy. Dave was friendly and helpful. He gave us techniques we still use to this day to help prevent arguments. After our sessions I felt closer to my husband. I recommend Dave for everyone who needs counseling, especially couples.

Dave has been a pleasure to work with for my fiance and I. He has made us both feel at ease during the counseling process. It is not always easy to talk about our feelings and issues. Dave makes it very easy to feel comfortable which has helped resolve issues we weren't even aware of! He has given us many resources to use to help us reach our goals and see progress in our relationship. This process has been invaluable. Thanks Dave!

My husband and I had a very positive session with Dave. We were able to tell Dave our issue's without having to rehash old situations. We not only were educated by Dave, he gave us ideas and tools to use that will help both of us with not only our self's but our marriage. Dave was understanding when we had to reschedule because of an uncontrollable situation. Dave offers multiple ways to get canceling and we would recommend Dave to anybody!!

I was going through a rough time because of a recent break up with someone that I truly loved. I am an immigrant so had no close family here. It was really getting out of control and I decided to seek for some help. Dave helped me a lot to understand what is really bothering me. He provided a calm and relaxing environment that I could easily talk through my issues. I was feeling really terrible before the counseling but now I am feeling much better, I am a lot more stable and I know that I can go through this phase of my life.

My husband and I were hitting a wall WRT a particular issue. Dave provided a safe and nonjudgemental environment in which to talk through both sides. We both felt as if we had a new sense of hope, like we had already begun to remap our ways of thinking and communicating. He armed us with tools to address obstacles in a more productive and healthy manner. His energy is very strong and kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Free, one hour consultation. 48 hour appointment availability for new clients. Weekly or bi-weekly sessions. Brief, solution focused therapy for rapid resolution of many common therapy issues. Simple, easy assignments to do out of the therapy session.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Research shows that your relationship with your therapist is one of the most significant aspects of the counseling process, so it’s important you find the person right for you. What does it feel like for you to sit with the therapist? Do you feel safe and comfortable? Can the therapist articulate their general philosophy and approach to helping? Can the counselor clearly define how they can help you to solve whatever issue or concern has brought you to therapy? Does the counselor seek regular peer consultation? Has your counselor done his own therapy? Does your counselor encourage dependence or independence?

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Therapy is really the process of understanding our responses to the thoughts and feelings that show up. We don't have control over that internal activity, only in how we respond to those thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, many of us learn poor responses, which cause anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts or other serious problems. Good therapy helps you to become less sensitive and less influenced by your internal world and more capable of living a rich and satisfying life.
