Chat with me

My name is David and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving people in the States of Oregon and Washington. I have practiced with people across the lifespan including children, youth and families. I enjoy spending time with my kids and puppy, especially when we get to be outside. I once got to meet Mr. Rogers before his passing. Life has been hard, particularly over the last few years. I enjoy working with people, particularly LGBTQ+ youth, youth who are experiencing depression or anxiety and those who have experienced other forms of marginalization. It is difficult navigating school and life during this time at baseline, but is additionally challenging when there are concerns about safety or belonging. I have training in Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I work to create a space that yours and which provides you with the tools to feel confident and well.
