“Working with Dave felt easy and comfortable. I was honestly really nervous about starting counseling and wasn’t sure what to expect, but he actually listened and never judged me. He helped me make sense of what I was feeling instead of telling me how I was supposed to feel. I learned how to deal with stress, speak up for myself, and feel more confident being me. The only downside is that he’s a Miami Dolphins fan; but other than that, he’s a great person.
