Individuals: Overcoming depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and problematic patterns in work and relationships. Live more with a sense of inner strength.

Couples: Develop and sustain healthy relationships by improving communication, resolving conflicts, removing barriers to intimacy and changing destructive relationship patterns.

Families: Develop effective parenting skills aimed at managing problem behaviors, improving communication and creating a supportive relationship with children and adolescents.

Meditators: Support and guidance in integrating insights and openings that come through practice. Help in loosening the grip of conditioned personality dynamics to facilitate living more fully from a place of awareness

David's varied/integrated clinical training includes: Psychodynamic, Cognitive/Behavioral, Family Systems, and Somatics. He is a long time student of Adyashanti and of Hameed Ali (A.H. Almaas) and the Ridhwan School for Spiritual Development.

He also offers hypnotherapy for habit control, stress reduction and improved performance, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) — a brief therapy technique for the relief of symptoms caused by traumatic life experiences. He is also experienced in facilitating the integration of experiences and insights that come from expanded states of consciousness arising from meditation and the use of visionary medicines.
