About

Hello! My name is David. I live in Suffolk County, New York. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience providing counseling and talk therapy. I am licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I believe our work together should be a collaborative process, and my goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, develop practical tools and strategies for navigating life’s challenges, and make meaningful changes that support your well-being.

Education & Licensure
MSW from New York University; Bachelor's in Sociology from California Lutheran University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My interest in working with autistic and neurodivergent clients comes from a commitment to providing compassionate, affirming care that recognizes and respects each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and needs. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected without judgment. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful progress that supports your well-being and personal goals.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I bring an affirming and strengths-based approach to my work by taking the time to get to know you as a whole person and understand your unique experiences, strengths, priorities, and goals. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. As a person who can personally relate to some of the experiences and challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, I bring both professional knowledge and personal understanding to my work.
