“David has excellent interpersonal and interviewing skills. He is very direct and honest, which is truly helpful in conflict resolution and self-growth. He balances his questions between each partner, making sure each person is heard and listened to. Even in our excited and upset state, when we may interrupt one another from high-strung emotions, he gives space for the interrupter to speak or for the other person to finish their sentence. He is wonderful at mediating and showing respect to each of us, no matter how we express ourselves. His questions really drive at the root of the problem, showing his focus on healing the relationship and our inner lives. He assigns homework, but in no way does it feel burdensome. It is actually a pleasure to do the homework because it actually benefits both the individual and the relationship. I especially like that Dave also balances between sharing insights from psychology theory and from his own personal life. This makes him more relatable, and it also makes the lesson he is attempting to impart easier to internalize. I look forward to continuing to work with David, and to healing my inner and outer worlds.”
