02 · In David's own words

What David says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

With over two decades of dedicated counseling experience, I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating complex emotional landscapes. My therapeutic approach centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth through a compassionate, faith-informed lens.

I understand the unique struggles of managing stress, social anxiety, and life transitions. My work focuses on empowering individuals to explore communication challenges, discover deeper life purpose, and heal from feelings of guilt and shame. Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a supportive environment where clients can develop stronger self-esteem and meaningful interpersonal connections.

I have extensive experience in counseling couples who are navigating relationship challenges. I believe in walking alongside my clients, offering guidance that respects their individual journey and spiritual beliefs while providing practical strategies for emotional wellness.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

David practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of David's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

  1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

    BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking David at this point.

  2. Naming David specifically

    BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for David is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to David.

  3. If the caseload is full

    You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

  4. The first conversation

    A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

  5. If the fit is wrong

    Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking David

Built from what David actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not David's - David has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

  • “With 25 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

    Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

  • “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

    On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

David's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 5 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met David. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
