Hi, I’m David!
I’m a relational and systemic therapist who works with children, parents, and adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships.
Growing up between cultures shaped how I understand people and relationships. Navigating different expectations, values, and ways of communicating often meant learning to pay close attention to context, family dynamics, and the unspoken stories that influence how we relate to one another. Those experiences continue to inform how I show up as a therapist today.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure how to support themselves or their children. Therapy offers a space to slow down and make sense of these experiences with curiosity and compassion.
A Space To…
-
Therapy with me is not about having the right words or presenting things perfectly. We slow things down and create space to explore what you’re feeling and experiencing without pressure or judgment.
-
I pay attention to the broader patterns that shape your life, including family dynamics, cultural influences, and the relationships that helped form how you cope, connect, and protect yourself.
-
At times we may notice different parts of you that show up in certain moments. Instead of judging these responses, we explore what they have been trying to do for you and how they make sense within your story.
-
Over time, our work together can help you understand yourself more deeply and create new possibilities for how you relate to yourself and others.
Outside the Office
When I’m not working, I’m usually spending time with my partner and our two dogs, Pepper (right) and Nala (left).
I recharge by getting outside whenever I can. Backpacking trips and playing ultimate frisbee help me reset and feel rejuvenated.
At home, you’ll often find me in the kitchen cooking or baking. Sharing food, spending time with loved ones, and being outdoors are some of the ways I stay grounded both in and out of the therapy room.
