David is the Clinical Director and founder of Associates in Brief Therapy (ABT) which was established in 1995. He has been in the counseling profession since 1986. He holds a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Liberty University (1985). He earned an Advanced Certificate in REBT in 1993. David is married to Lisa (1987). They have four adult children.

David works with adults, couples, and families. He has extensive training and experience in solution-focused counseling, mediation, and clinical supervision.

His counseling style can best be described as coaching — a motivator and teacher that empowers others to develop strategies and skills. The learning of life skills and being accountable to the practice of these skills is essential to change. Albert Einstein once said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
