Hi! My name is David. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been practicing for 35 years. I graduated from the University of California at Irvine with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Ecology in 1983. From California State University at Fullerton I received a Master’s Degree in Counseling in 1985.
I began counseling in a high school setting in Santa Ana, CA, under the supervision of a licensed Marriage Family and Child Counselor in 1983. I received my first counseling license in 1987. In 1990 I moved to Texas, where I provided in-home counseling services to children and their families, for 23 years. In 2013 I returned to my home state of Michigan, where I continue to practice today.
I have addressed many issues with clients over the years, including:
Anxiety/Depression
ADHD/Impulsivity
Anger/Rage
Personality Disorder Clusters
LBGTQ Issues
And others
It’s not uncommon to become confused in life, to need a little help deciding what’s best for you.
But my guess is you are every bit as capable of finding the answers that are right for you as anyone else. And I’d like to help you find them. But I’d like to help you get to the point where you realize you don’t need me. That everything you need in life that’s important, you already have. And like most things you do in life, the more you practice them more proficient you’ll become.
I take a Person-Centered approach to therapy. So how can I help you help yourself? Where would you like to start?
