Approach to treatment

David's approach to treatment is in knowing that every person holds their blueprint for Wholeness inside themselves. The real work of therapy is opening the space to remembering the Wholeness that is already present, like a seed germinating in the earth. All the seed needs is the recognition that it is already there within each one in order for it to make it's way from the hidden protected space inside and into the Dance of Life. He is committed to holding that vision for self and others, and listening deeply for the seed's instructions about what could be helpful in each one's process.

David draws on: Seeing and honoring the Core Essence of Love/Beauty that is at the Heart of All Creation; creating Sacred Space in self and recognizing it in the Earth that sustains us; Knowing the Possibility of the Impossible; Creative visual, sound, and written expressions; encouraging and nurturing the Transformation that wants to happen all on It's own as All moves to greater expressions of Heart/ Wholeness; Finding Humor in Myself and the Universe.
