Meet David

I began working in the mental health profession as a talk therapist in 2014. My educational background includes a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling with a focus of concentration on Crisis and Trauma. I am trained as a psychotherapist and hold a credential as a National Board Certified Counselor.  Additionally, I have pursued advanced training and certifications in the field of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.  I have achieved Board Certification in 5-PATH Hypnotherapy, am a NGH Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Master Hypnotist, and a Certified 7th Path Self-Hypnosis Teacher.

Hypnosis has always been a fascinating subject for me.  In my younger years, I became interested in sleight-of-hand card magic.  As a young adult, it was a very fun hobby, and I loved using it to amaze people.  I constantly learned and practiced new sleights and enjoyed incorporating the psychology of misdirection.  Over time, I became aware of street magicians that were beginning to incorporate bits of stage hypnosis into their magic routines and were doing incredible things.  This left a significant impact on me as I began to witness the power of hypnosis used for entertainment; it also left me wondering how it could also be used to help and benefit people. 

After years of working in the mental health counseling field, I now specialize in the therapeutic use of hypnosis.  I combine a wide range of mental health experience, training and gentle compassion to work individually with each of my unique clients. By working with the subconscious part of the mind, I can often help you achieve results much faster and more powerfully than can be achieved with traditional talk therapy.

Aside from being a dad, I am an avid martial artist and yoga practitioner. I also love dogs, scuba diving, and playing blues guitar.
