About David
As a licensed therapist in Michigan with over three decades of experience working with children of all ages. Although most of my experience has been in the school setting, I have helped many adults navigate the challenges and nuances of life. My practice focuses on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief, and self-esteem issues. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to therapy that centers on understanding each person's unique journey. My work emphasizes healing through improved communication, addressing social isolation, exploring life purpose, and developing robust coping strategies for stress and emotional challenges. My therapeutic approach is particularly attuned to supporting older adults, individuals experiencing workplace stress, caregiving challenges, and those working through significant life transitions like divorce or separation. Regarding school aged children, I am experienced in helping young people learn the skills necessary to handle the many challenges that social and educational settings present. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, process trauma, and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth and emotional resilience. I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based support that honors each client's individual experience and helps them move toward greater emotional well-being and self-understanding primarily using client-centered, reality, and rational-emotive methods.
