| Practice Description: |
It’s not what happens to us that causes our problems, it’s how we "think" about it that continues to keep us stuck in our emotional pain. As a wounded healer, I’m energized in helping individuals and couples achieve recovery with trauma and relationship issues.
Dr. Dave works with adult individuals and couples who would like to resolve the symptoms of traumatic incidents and relationship conflicts. The counseling goals are to redevelop intimacy and a heart connection, communicate respectfully, meet each others needs and resolve issues while rebuilding trust in a safe and constructive way. Solution- focused and skills-based models for trauma and couples" relationship counseling and therapy help clients realize results in a brief and meaning way.
As a television show guest, Dr. Dave has shared insights about intervention strategies, substance abuse, and couples/marital communication and therapy. He has served as adjunct faculty member for the University of Wichita’s College of Health Related Professions, the University of Iowa Social Work Department and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
As a wounded healer (dysfunctional family of origin and abuse), Dr. Dave is energized in helping individuals and couples achieve recovery and quality of life. He shares exciting, meaningful and short term therapy models for Traumatic Stress (Acute, Chronic and PTSD) and Couples/Marriage Therapy.
