Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, anger, or a relationship that keeps hitting the same wall. Maybe you're in the middle of a big change: a move overseas, a new career, a divorce, or coming home from a deployment. Or maybe you just know something in your life or your relationships isn't working.
As a marriage and family therapist, I pay attention to the people and pressures around you, even when I'm working with just you. All sessions are online.
Online therapy for individuals, couples and families in St. Paul and across Minnesota, and for expats living abroad.
Therapy with me is practical and collaborative. We get specific about what's actually happening, including the moments that go wrong, and work on doing something different, not just understanding it better.
I'm direct, and we won't spend sessions talking in circles.
Online: No commute or waiting room. Meet from home, your office, or wherever you live, including overseas.
Private pay: I'm out-of-network with all insurers, so your insurance company doesn't decide how many sessions you get or how we work. If you have out-of-network benefits, I provide superbills you can submit for possible reimbursement. A limited number of sliding-scale spots are available.
Individual therapy
For adults and teens dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD-related challenges, relationship struggles, or big life changes such as a career shift, a divorce, a loss, or a move abroad.
It's a good fit for capable, busy people, including professionals, military-connected clients and expats, who want practical, goal-oriented therapy rather than open-ended talk.

I also valued and appreciated his straightforward approach and willingness to call attention to specific issues, even when they may have been uncomfortable. For example, I recall clearly the conversation we had... it was one of those "swallow hard" moments, but ultimately was a good example of the kind of realities I needed to frame more clearly for myself. I'm grateful for David guiding me toward them and calling attention to them
David was most effective in helping me reframe some of my perspectives on challenges I was facing.
I thought opening up to another person would feel uncomfortable, and I worried that my problems wouldn’t matter to someone else. Over time I felt more open and realized that talking about my problems actually helped me move forward. I’m now less harsh towards my own thoughts and feelings, and I was able to let go of a lot of guilt.
I had much progress when it comes to relationships, and I feel like I have more awareness of myself

We have seen so much growth in [our son]. He has more confidence and is more willing to put himself out there. His ability to acknowledge and express his needs has been tremendous for him and our family. While he was hesitant to start working with David and struggled at times, there is no doubt by the end of their time together, he understood that it helped, and I dare say he even looked forward to it every week
Working with David was the absolute best decision we could have made for our son.

David really helped me during a time when I was feeling lots of anxiety. I'm now much more equipped to understand and take care of myself. David was a great listener, empathetic, and did a great job of asking the right questions that got me to analyze so many parts of my life/thoughts
Our work laid the groundwork for skills/tools/understanding that I'll carry with me the rest of my life.

Our work together was really helpful for me to grow as a person and help me better understand myself and how to interact with my own emotions. The most helpful aspects of our work together were 100% the tools that David either shared with me or we created together to match me specifically. I use them as my go-to for handling difficult situations and will continue to do so in the future
I can't thank David enough. his support and insights created a safe space for me to express how I was feeling and the things I was dealing with

David's skill in finding a common language with our son has been remarkable. It's noteworthy that he consistently came away in good spirits even after challenging conversations. It is a testament to David's skill in navigating difficult topics.
David’s support through the highs and lows has been spot on, creating a space where our son felt understood and empowered
