I have been a practicing psychotherapist for 18 years, specializing in counseling couples with relationship difficulties, individuals with mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and anger, and those in need of life coaching strategies. I also work with families in conflict. My role is to help you formulate and achieve your goals.
I use an eclectic approach, tailoring the methods I use to fit the needs of each client. I provide strategies for couples to reduce conflict, improve communication, and reconcile their differences. I help individuals to recognize their strengths and to become aware of thinking errors, replacing them with rational thoughts.

Codependency occurs in many forms. It involves at least two people, who participate in a dependency on something. Unfortunalty, it often is a vicious cycle of anger and blame, while at the same time enabling the other person to continue the destructive behavior. Other forms not mentioned. Effective counseling requires a strong committment on the part of one or both clients to change and break the pattern of codependency.
Everyone gets angry sometimes. However, if you frequently become angry and have trouble dealing with conflict situations without becoming very upset or angry, you may need help. Anger is often not necessary and there are other more effective ways to solve problems. However, in a life threatening, terrible situation, anger may be the correct response, but that doesn't happen very often.

This man is Unprofessional, unhelpful and a Thief.
My first time experience was awful. I am not the type of person who enjoys, or even seeks out to leave a bad review but I’m doing this to potentially save someone else from a bad therapist. I arrived at my appointment 15 minutes early. He was running behind 5 minutes which wasn’t a big deal.
Before our session began he gave me a piece of paper which he was asking for my credit card information to keep on file. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my Cc info on a piece of paper. I had a card with funds available to pay for my session, he did

I have known Dave many years and his help with family therapy and personal therapy has been nothing less that stellar. He has a great sense of helping get to the root of issues and uses an array of techniques to help work through them. One thing that I especially like is he has a sense of humor and using that during therapy is something most therapists might not do. I saw Dave for therapy when I lived in Florida and I now live in NJ and he is doing teletharpy with me. I highly recommend Dave for your therapy needs.
