I am licensed in Colorado with 40 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & intimacy related issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.
I have a lot of experience teaching and counseling young people build relationships with each other which lead to solid lifelong friendships. I have developed a method of teaching youth to increase confidence and build self esteem so meeting new people and increasing self esteem does not have to be a frightening prospect.

David has very quickly shed light on what factors affect my communication with all others. He has helped me become an observer of myself without getting into my head and making it weird. His style is straight forward and honest and he obviously has a lot of experience being a therapist. I look forward to speaking with him each week.
