About Dave

As a therapist I have learned that we are all doing our best to live the life that we want to have. Sometimes life throws us some curve balls and can become tougher than we like. Congratulations on taking those first steps to getting back up and on that path. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Superior with my master’s degree in clinical counseling. I have been practicing for a total of 5 years now. I am trained in brain spotting which is a technique use to help clients process through tough choices as well as address traumatic experiences someone may have had. I work with people ages 10 and up, doing individual and couples counseling. I utilize a trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy approach (TF-CBT) and motivational interviewing to assist my clients to work on living the life that they want. I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples to help them learn how to connect and communicate with one another.

I have lived in Duluth since 2012 after moving here with my wife from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I have two kids, and we love to spend our time outdoors on the many trails of Duluth or hanging out inside doing arts and crafts. I look forward to seeing you and learning more about your life.
