Hi, I’m Dave. Over the last 20 years, I’ve helped my clients in Eugene, Oregon regain the momentum in their relationships by becoming the best version of themselves – and I want to help you do the same.
Deciding to go to therapy conjures up every TV or movie depiction of a client and therapist sitting in a dimly lit room while the client talks and talks about their problems. They never show the actual work that is necessary for real change to happen. They just show weekly sessions, and BOOM… an epiphany is made and they’re all better. Sadly, many of us have been in therapy on and off for years, mistakenly thinking that this was all that was necessary. You want more than that.
But let’s also be honest: You don’t really want a therapist who will just sit there and ask, “…and how does that make you feel?” You want someone who will finally help you move beyond the basics in order to finally become the best version of yourself. Someone who will call you on your B.S. if it gets in the way, challenge you and show you the skills you need to propel your life forward.
I’ve had a lot of therapists over the last 17 years and I’ve never had a counselor bring me through this much progress…. ever. Not even close.

Growing up in Eugene, I come from a multi-generational family of psychologists and therapists, and have “breathed the air” of psychology, so to speak.
