While I am a licensed psychotherapist in California with twenty years of experience, my coaching practice is uniquely different from psychotherapy. Over the past decade, I’ve blended my deep understanding of the human psyche with a coaching approach that focuses on outcomes. In coaching, we aim to elevate your system to its highest level, working on healing as needed but always with a clear focus on achieving your goals. My role is to provide precise feedback, advocate strongly for you, and challenge you to grow.
Coaching is
Not Psychotherapy
DEEP DIVE COACHING: A DISTINCT PATH
First Things First:
My exploration into therapy began at twenty-two, and I’ve been dedicated to healing and consciousness ever since. With over fifteen thousand hours of experience working with individuals, couples, and groups since 2003, and my background in teaching, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for this work. If we work together, I will be IN IT with you—deeply engaged, caring, and committed to helping you achieve profound transformation.
My Journey
and Experience
My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma understanding, mindfulness, and insights from various masters and modalities, including David Cates, Adyashanti, Richard Schwartz, Carl Jung, and others.
PHILOSOPHY
AND APPROACH
Clarity
Learn to engage with different parts of yourself with kindness and understanding, fostering a deeper connection and healing.
Compassionate Engagement
Gain a clear understanding of your inner landscape, emotions, and thought patterns. This clarity helps you navigate challenges with confidence.
Non-pathologizing
Recognize that even the parts of you that seem problematic, like the inner critic, are trying to help you. This perspective allows for more constructive growth.
Experience a coaching method that feels natural and easy to work with, making the process of change more seamless.
Intuitive Approach
HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

For a deeper dive into IFS, I recommend Richard Schwartz’s “No Bad Parts.”
Emily Fletcher - founder of Ziva Meditation, and author of Stress Less, Accomplish More.
David has this gentle power that guides you to the core of the issue where the deep healing is needed most. For me his coaching work has been deeply transformative. It shifted the tectonic plates of my psyche which has created massive shifts in my everyday life. David is kind and strong and masterful in his guidance. I highly recommend diving into this work with him.
Navigating the Landscape
Finding the right support can be challenging amidst the diverse world of therapists, coaches, and spiritual guides. While everyone offers different perspectives and training, my goal is to provide you with a foundation that helps you meet life’s challenges confidently. My IFS-based approach is grounded in extensive experience and a genuine desire to support your growth.
