Recent reviews
I started with David to get a better grasp on how poorly I deal with my emotions and let certain ones take over. After talking and digging deep on my childhood and past traumas, he really helped me navigate them and find out why I have such a difficult time with my emotions. It’s been a journey, but thanks to David it made this travel so much more doable.

My focus is primarily couples counseling and men seeking career and/or dating counseling.
About my approach:
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! These words inspire us to look forward to a bright future, something we can count on as we move through life. But what happens when the life we hoped for slips out of our grasp? When our careers stall, or when our relationships go sour, or when we can’t shake off the effects of painful experiences?
Since earning my MS in Clinical Counseling from Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, I have learned that each of us is full of talent and potential. We all have something important to contribute to the world. All we need is a way to discover the unique qualities, drives and passions that make us who we are.
My approach to treatment is based on Solution Focused Brief Counseling. My goal is to help people find the strong, hopeful and capable parts of their personality and strengthen them in every day life. We do this first by exploring your key relationships and how they have impacted your life over time. Once we uncover your (not so hidden) strengths, we work together to improve your well being.
My experience includes working with singles and couples, as well as men seeking career transition counseling. I have worked with people from all faiths, gender identity and sexual orientation.
How I can be of service: If you looking for help: (1) building a better future, particularly in your career (2) overcoming relationship challenges, or (3) coming to terms with painful memories so you can move on, I look forward to working with you to help you meet those goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

David's great - he has good understand of the issues, were I need to go, and ability to communicate that in a way that feels supportive.
David has been a wonderful guide And helper in life. Whether it’s just listening to how my week has been or tackling big issues he has always given me sound advice and let me find my own path to growth. The books we have gone over so far have changed my views and life with my spouse. We are both communicating so clearly our needs and wants and thriving because of it.

David is great. He is kind, knowledgable and able to communicate in a way that makes sense to us. He was quick to idenfity where we are getting stuck in our marriage and offer solutions. I would ceratinly recommend David!
David was great to talk with! He was very supportive while also helping me think of ways to handle my situation. He gave me a lot of things to think about and use in the future. He is such a great counselor!
My first counseling session exceeded my expectations. I did not meet or pick David but I truly feel he is the right fit for me. He listened to me. He synthesized. He reinforced. He provided guidance. That is all that I can ask for. I look forward to my next session with him.
