PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
― Carl Gustav Jung
I offer psychotherapy services for adults using an eclectic, theoretical approach. I help people reinvent their lives, and thrive in a renewed sense of freedom from the barriers that have been holding them back. This means getting to know yourself in new and authentic ways, learning skills to manage anxiety and depression, reducing unhealthy behaviors like drugs and alcohol use, navigating successfully through changes in life, and increasing the quality of your relationships. I hear you and look forward to helping you find what you've been looking for.
I want to provide an outlet for individuals seeking therapy who are interested in a unique and non-traditional approach to self-development. I love helping people move to a place of potential, understanding, and empowerment. I have always been motivated to help others align with their personal sense of serenity. The moments where you can take a deep breath and feel like everything is as it should be. Those shared experiences are rewarding to me as a therapist and inspire me to help others.
The proper selection of a therapist is extremely important. I have 15 years of experience working with individuals seeking to redefine their lives. My approaches are rooted in state-of-the-art, evidence-based practices, but align with interdisciplinary and alternative perspectives of wellness. That is a fancy way of saying I think outside the box to find ways to help you achieve wellness across all areas of life. I also love bringing humor into sessions as a source of building a therapeutic relationship with my clients while creating a safe and comfortable space for self-exploration.
There is something amazing about being heard. Genuinely feeling like someone understands the impact of your experiences and circumstances. Much of the feedback I have received from my clients include this sense of feeling heard and validated. I am humbled and honored by this and feel it is an intricate part of the therapeutic process.
MY PHILOSOPHY
01
We all have our stuff to work through.
No matter who you are, we all have our stuff. Self-development is a journey, not a destination and everyone can benefit from a therapeutic co-pilot.
02
You are who you believe yourself to be.
Our belief systems help us understand ourselves and the world around us. Who you think you are may be preventing you from being who you are meant to become.
03
Perspective is everything.
Insight grows from adjusting the lens we are looking through. The results can tell a new and deeper story.
04
Your worth is not contingent or negotiable.
Your worth is not defined by what you do or by the opinions of others. You do not have to perform to receive the love or acceptance you deserve.
05
Shame might be the elephant in the room.
Navigating life feeling like 'damaged goods' can easily distort how we see ourselves and our interactions with others. Growth doesn't make you a 'better' you, it creates a more actualized you.
06
You exist. Plug yourself in.
Connection is a fundamental part of the human condition. We all need to feel apart of something more than ourselves, even if it's in small doses.
07
Your mood serves a purpose.
Feelings like anxiety and depression while distressing, serve a purpose. Emotional wellness comes with redefining the context of your emotions to empower yourself towards change.
08
Authenticity is powerful.
Be You. Living in the skin of your authentic self with genuine expression of your being is the foundation for life satisfaction.
09
It’s not about what you need to do. It’s about who you want to be.
Personal growth is not about needing to check things off a list or completing a task. It is about aligning with your higher purpose and engaging in genuine actions of self-fulfillment.
10
We all want to mean something.
The impact we leave whether great or small reminds us that we exist and that our presence matters. Knowing that we mean something to someone or have been influential in some capacity soothes our internal desire for existence.
PRAISE
A pure heart is the greatest temple in the world and Dr. Dave, epitomizes this sentiment. He is such a genuine soul who has helped me on a deep level through very challenging times. He is emotionally attuned to one's needs, and has a great ability to identify and help his patients articulate their feelings. His knowledge coupled with his empathy makes him an amazing clinician. I value him more than I truly have words to express. He is one of the greatest blessings in my life.
-Kat
Dr. Dave has not only helped me turn my life around, but he continuously gives me skills that allow me to navigate future challenges whenever they arise. He both challenges and inspires me in a way that no other therapist has. His personality, professionalism, and intuitive nature have made him an expert in his field while setting him apart from other mental health professionals. I would recommend Dr. Dave to anyone I care about who is looking to explore themselves and their past/present/future experiences.
