Introduction: David is contracted with Silverado Counseling Services to conduct individual, family, couples counseling, and group therapy for adolescents & adults.
David has been changing people's lives for almost a decade. In this time, he has become a multiculturalist mental health professional with holistic foundations. He brings together Eastern and Western practices through a biological-psychological-social-spiritual perspective. He believes in a process called co-learning. Co-learning is where the client and therapist learn from one another, this in-turn creates a powerful alliance to discover change, and removes unhealthy dynamics within the client(s) life. David believes therapy is a process of discovering new and alternative possibilities.
David possesses a Bachelor degree from Utah State University in Family, Consumer, & Human Development, and a Master's degree from Seattle Pacific University in Marriage and Family Therapy. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, David works with a broad spectrum of clients. His approach incorporates solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and structural-strategic family therapy principles.
His experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. His expertise includes relationship and individual problems, marriage preparation, veteran/PTSD issues, adult & adolescent drug and alcohol problems, and defiant teenagers.
David is a well-rounded compassionate man that enjoys his family, travel, and great food. He also is a Veteran and currently serving in the Army Reserves as a Military Police Investigator.
