Elevating Mental
Health Through
Evidence-Based Psychotherapy

Providing premium, compassionate clinical therapy for adults and adolescents on the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida, and globally via secure telehealth.

A Clinical Foundation of Genuine Empathy

As a Board-licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 14 years of post-graduate clinical experience, my practice is built upon a profound commitment to individualized mental health care. A graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University (BA Psychology, MSW), I honed my expertise within rigorous local mental health organizations, including intensive outpatient and residential treatment settings.

Today, I bring this high-level clinical acumen into a private, confidential environment. Whether you are navigating the complexities of Southwest Florida or residing internationally, I offer flexible, secure access to psychotherapy via in-person sessions, phone, and encrypted online video counseling.

“My greatest strength as a psychotherapist is my genuine empathy. I will never dismiss your concerns. If something is important enough to bring you into therapy, it is important enough to be taken seriously.”

Clinical Specializations

Tailored psychotherapy and counseling services designed to address the unique psychological needs of adults and adolescents.

Integrative Therapeutic Approach

I do not adhere to a singular “one-size-fits-all” methodology. I draw from a diverse array of evidence-based modalities to construct a highly personalized treatment plan.

Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT)

Existential Therapy

Psychodynamic Therapy

Motivational Interviewing

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

True psychological healing requires a multifaceted lens. By integrating these modalities, we can address acute symptomatology—such as anxiety through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy—while simultaneously exploring deeper, unconscious root causes via Psychodynamic Therapy. Furthermore, Existential Therapy and Motivational Interviewing allow us to explore your unique meaning-making processes and intrinsic motivations, resulting in a holistic, deeply transformative clinical experience.

Client Experiences

The most profound measure of successful psychotherapy is the authentic experience of the individual in the room.

I was a mess when I first met David, low and cloudy minded. He listened, empathized, and gave me insight combining his own similar experiences. I left with a new insight and felt relaxed. The conversation supported my mental health, I felt safe and treated with genuine sincerity. I’ve never felt so supported and understood by a therapist. I highly recommend David and am so glad I gave it a try, I’ve benefited immensely.
– Adult Client
“ My daughter was very resistant to counseling, but after talking with David, she felt very comfortable. He is incredibly helpful, and she looks forward to every session. He provides tools and support to help her navigate the experiences and challenges that come up in her teenage life. This is my conclusion after just two sessions and some text communication.
– Adult Client
David gets me and doesn’t talk about himself. That’s the number one reason I have quit many therapists. I don’t agree with paying to listen to their problems.
– Adult Client
Very satisfied with him. He is genuine and makes me feel open in our conversations. I feel better and lighter working towards the areas I need to focus on. I’m starting to make changes without forcing myself. I recommend him.
