David is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist (MSW/RSW) with over 30 years of experience. He believes therapy is most effective as a compassionate, non-hierarchical partnership. Rather than acting as an expert "fixing" a client, David serves as a dedicated collaborator, helping individuals, couples, and families clear the debris of self-criticism to uncover their inherent capacity for growth.
In his practice, David supports those navigating depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and chronic stress. He offers a supportive haven for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP), the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and neurodivergent individuals. Drawing from his own lived experience with health challenges, he also provides specialized support for aging, chronic pain, and return-to-work transitions—helping clients find meaning and function even when the body presents limitations.
David’s approach is integrative and eclectic, allowing him to tailor his skills to each client’s unique "relational web." He draws from Family Systems and the Gottman Method to address relationship dynamics, while his individual work is informed by Cognitive Behavioural traditions (CBT, DBT, and ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies. By aligning feelings, thoughts, and values with mindful action, David helps clients move away from harsh self-judgment toward mental clarity. If you are looking for a therapeutic relationship that is as kind as it is skillful, David invites you to reach out and begin moving toward the life you want to live.
