About
I am a mentor, entrepreneur, life coach, and educator. I have 8 years of experience in counseling and teaching. I have my own mentoring and life coaching business called Reaching Back. I help people become the best they can be. I take your fears of failure and change them to beliefs in success. I listen, then come up with a plan that will help you reach your goal.
I enjoy watching people succeed in life. I love sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm with someone and helping them become the best person they can be. It makes me happy when i can bring happiness to someone's life. Everything I do from mentoring and teaching kids to assisting adults with pursuing their dreams involves helping people. I love to give back because I know I didn't get to where I am by myself. Everyone, including myself, needs that push to make it over the wall. We need someone to listen. We need someone to care. As I teach, I learn. I truly believe that you cannot be successful if you don't love what you do.

Hi.
I hired David because me and my 16 year old son started having problems. He is a teen, and while some things are normal for his age, my son’s behavior, grades, and attitude changed for the worst and super fast.
Having David working with my son helped us both: for my son he is a neutral person to talk to, to vent to without being judged, and also a guide (kids don’t listen to things that come out of their parents’ mouths but will listen to the same thing if it comes from someone else); and for me- David is a sounding board and transmitter of information ( both ways), he helps me understand my own child more.
I know we have a very long way to go but we will keep working with David because I see improvements. Thank you, David!

Working with Dave has been one of the most eye-opening experiences in my journey of personal growth. I came to him looking for clarity and guidance around romantic relationships, especially trying to understand how men view connection, communication, and commitment. What I received was so much more than advice—it was insight.
Dave offered a grounded, honest, and compassionate perspective on how men navigate love, vulnerability, and conflict. It helped me reframe my expectations, recognize patterns, and approach my own relationships with more confidence and emotional balance. I never felt judged—only supported and gently challenged to grow.
If you’re looking for someone who can translate emotional nuance into actionable clarity—and help you step into romantic relationships with more wisdom and peace—I highly recommend Dave. It was the perspective shift I didn’t know I needed.

David has been so supportive to us as a family. He is doing amazing with my daughter she normally does not open up to anyone and she loves her sessions with him. We feel blessed that God led us to his services.

I reached out to over 15 Therapists and I so happy Dave & I Were able to connect from Thumbtack December 2021.
Just yesterday evening my family and I had the pleasure of holding our first Family Therapy Session via Zoom. Dave has a professional non bias demeanor that controls the session in a genuine way. With so many emotions and individuals involved he stuck to the main goal while making everyone comfortable enough to speak our point of views.
I would say this was money well spent if you are looking to face any pain & trauma. He is a great listener and I respect Dave’s background. Very Professional!
Thank you Dave 🙏🏽
