In-Person in San Diego Telehealth in California
AMFT #164084 Men, Couples & Families

Dave is a therapist who brings both formal clinical training and a great deal of lived experience: career reinventions, raising two kids to adulthood, and the humbling realities of life that arrive without warning and demand everything you have. He knows what it takes to grow through difficulty and come out the other side more whole.

He specializes in supporting men, couples, and families, with particular depth in trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Dave understands that many of the people who seek him out, especially men, have spent years carrying things alone, and his goal is to create a space where honesty is possible and real work can begin.

Dave's approach is integrative, drawing on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR alongside a belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. He is known for being approachable and relatable, with a calm, inviting presence.

Outside of the therapy room, Dave can be found making music, whether listening, playing, or performing, cooking something worth sharing, or spending time with his wife and dogs.
