You know something needs to change…Feel Better For real
Let’s delve into and understand the connection between your past and present to create lasting change in your life. It’s time to feel freedom and truly realize your unique self.
My primary goal is to work with my clients to create the tools to start feeling better in all parts of their lives.
Another goal is to help you understand the way your brain works and the role your past experiences in life play in your behavior. Recognizing our patterns is key to being better at changing them in the future.
I want you to see that you don’t have to wait to make the changes you want in your life, sometimes, we just need to be reminded that we’re in control of how we interact with the world and how our thoughts and feelings can impact those interactions - for better or for worse.
hi. i’m Dave.
This is a place where I will challenge you to be fully, unapologetically you.
I am dedicated to being authentic in our conversations. I will openly share about my own journey, be assertive when necessary, and always validate your experiences and their impact on you. I am comfortable discussing topics that may be considered “uncomfortable”—such as sex, money, and gender roles—while embracing the humor and joy that often come with the journey of self-discovery.
I’m here to help you find those answers because understanding leads to empowerment and hope for change.
In our therapy sessions, we'll explore what lies beneath the surface and use evidence-based methods for healing. You'll gain coping skills that foster greater confidence, joy, and richer relationships.
SPECIALIZING IN:
01
Anxiety & Depression
Recently, it's become increasingly difficult to overlook the racing thoughts and the constant unease in your stomach that never really fades. Often, the moments when you feel most relaxed are during activities that you know aren’t beneficial for your long-term well-being. The persistent anxiety you experience might even lead to panic or anxiety attacks—your heart racing uncontrollably and struggling to breathe—and these episodes can disrupt your concentration for the entire day or even longer. You excel at solving problems in various aspects of your life, which only heightens your frustration about your inability to find answers for the issues that concern you the most..
02
GRIEF & LOSS
Living with grief can be an emotional roller coaster. One day you may feel relatively okay, the next you might just feel floored. Your sleeping patterns and eating habits may be disrupted, you may have stopped taking care of yourself or doing the things you enjoy. To avoid your feelings, you may be using substances or burying yourself in work. Your relationships might be suffering because you feel misunderstood or are unwilling to confide in others. You may worry that if you shared you would overburden them or your emotions feel too complicated to articulate.
I can offer you a judgment-free place to talk about your grief and help you develop the tools you need to heal and find acceptance for your loss.
