About David | He/him

Message to clients

As an autistic psychologist, David knows firsthand some of the challenges of navigating a neurotypical world, adjusting to diagnosis later in life, seeking accommodations, and designing his life to seek environments that play to his strengths. David also identifies as Christian, and has found that he has connected with clients who are open to guidance and healing from that particular worldview.
