Reviews:

“For many years my son struggled with addiction & our family struggled with how to cope. When we 1^st met Dave, we immediately felt a connection with him. His warm, understanding personality put us at ease and we all felt he was so easy to talk to. We felt listened to without any judgement. With his help, our son is now enrolled in college, is a more self-confident young man, and we as a family are filled with so much hope for his future. As parents, we have learned to take care of ourselves & our needs in the process. As we’ve worked with Dave, we've always been impressed by his ability to think outside the box & research new ideas that go the extra mile to help our family.”

Reviews:

“I began to work with Dave about a month ago to help me begin to work through the grief that I’ve carried for 20 years over the loss of my sister, as well as the recent loss of both my Dad and my Mom in the space of a year. Although, I’ve only just begun this journey, I’m already feeling so listened to and understood. Dave’s kind, gentle manner has made it easy for me to feel comfortable enough to begin to explore how best to deal with my grief.”
