About

A traumatic event as a child or recent life experience clouds our emotions and efforts to regain our emotional balance. These events and it can be difficult to identify and restore emotional fullness. This creates uneasiness, sadness, and lack of connection in ourselves and our relationships, and may also impact parenting challenges. This is especially prevalent in modern relationship realities and conflicting parenting styles, blended families, and step parenting. Support from a trauma informed love centered therapist may help with regaining emotional ease and fullness.
David approaches therapy from a holistic and traditional trauma healing perspective, recognizing that emotional hurt and dis-ease can be carried within, causing emotional dysregulation and tension in our daily lives. David uses Somatic Experiencing SE, EMDR, drug/alcohol disorder experience, CBT, evidence-based therapy, and holistic therapy modalities.

David creates a therapy room as a safe and nurturing space where clients can fully express themselves in a safe manner that allows for their greatest love of self. David will meet you where you’re at.
