I like to help individuals and families especially those who are of mixed cultures Arabic/Muslim Christian or secular individuals who are bicultural and struggle with communication and anxiety stemming from difference or systemic racism. My focus is to help managers and high level executive managers of color find peace and success navigating corporate structure. My hope is to help individuals deal with depression, grief, anxiety and stress caused by disharmony in personal or work environments.

I believe that we all do the best we can. I believe in the wisdom of the individual and the strength in each of us. I believe that there is power in our stories. I believe that we are stronger together. I believe we can change, do better and be better in our daily lives. I believe that small steps turn into big changes. I believe in being brave, finding your voice and believing in yourself. I believe that laughter is the best medicine and not taking ourselves too seriously. I focus on relationship first in all the work that I do. I focus on connection and the strengths of the individual to drive the work and the change.

You struggle with how you feel about yourself. You never feel like you are “enough.” You are swimming in self-doubt and all you see are your imperfections. Your inner critic is always on overdrive. Sometimes you just wish it would let up for a bit so you could have a moment of peace. It hurts to treat yourself this way, but you don't know another way to be. What would it be like if you weren't constantly berating yourself? In therapy, we will help you look at how you came to see yourself the way you do so you can contend with that voice of self-doubt differently.

My practice is currently full, please reach out you would like to be added to the waiting list (est. 1-2 months). I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment where my clients can feel welcome and safe. As a psychodynamic therapist, I believe that healing can happen through accessing the realm of the unconscious. This process of exploring thoughts and images can be daunting, but also immensely satisfying and life changing.

Equine-assisted mental health (EAMH) is a specialized psychotherapy treatment that incorporates equines (i.e. horses) into the therapeutic environment. In EAMH, there is a strong focus on present-moment awareness, experiential learning, and the integration of the mind-body-spirit connection through interactions with a horse(s) in an outdoor barn environment.

Please Note: The only type of OHP that I am able to take is CareOregon. If you are struggling with the impacts of trauma, abuse, or loss (no matter how far in the past), there is hope. Using a trauma-informed, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to counseling, we will create a safe space for collaborative work and healing. We can also use mindfulness, somatic, and creative therapies if you feel drawn to that kind of work. I have particular experience working with people who have been impacted by sexual trauma; PTSD that feels out of control; family/relationship issues; attachment wounding; and significant loss.

From struggling to THRIVING. Become more fully "yourself." Enjoy relationship satisfaction. Strengthen connection to something bigger that is meaningful. Get relief from depression and anxiety (really!). Improve effectiveness at work. Feel more at home in your body, content. Mindful and present. LAUGH. Choosing a therapist that is both really good AND a great fit is important. There is a difference here you will experience from the get go. The office is in a 1930's Cape Cod style house...inviting & comfortable. With warmth and character. David is unusually relational and "real." Sessions are 60, 75 or 90 minutes rather than 50.
