“I needed help navigating through a transformational season in my life. I chose David because of his Rula profile and his approach to getting to the root of the issue, gaining a deeper understanding and perspective, and providing helpful resources along the way. I‚Äôve learned so much about myself in such a short amount of time, and I‚Äôve gained a newfound confidence. David has helped me see things from a different perspective, and I‚Äôm very grateful for the space and guidance he provides.”

Getting to know David Martin
Hi there, I'm David!
Want to see yourself change and become a better person? Yeah, me too! That's why I'm committed to helping you get down to the core of what's been going on inside your mind and soul, whether it's been half a year or half your life. Let's get this taken care of and get you on the path to health.
My focus
If you find yourself wrestling with the same self defeating thoughts over and over; if you struggle with knowing what emotions are truly at the core of those thoughts; and if you feel isolated and alone in your struggle with behavior patterns: let's talk. I want to help you with to incorporate new skills and tools so you can overcome these hurdles.
My approach
I am direct and yet nurturing, caring, and warm. I like to challenge some of your conventional ways of thinking to help you see the bigger picture. I espouse an action-oriented to identifying and solving problems, but I also believe that inner wisdom comes through reflection and self-compassion.
My communication style
You will not leave sessions wondering what I mean with what I say - I am very direct and straightforward, and I like to speak the truth in love to everyone I work with. Similarly, I want you to remember that you are valued and loved, and I strive to make sure you know that by offering compassion and grace with my language.
My journey to mental healthcare
People are fascinating to me, and as the pinnacle of creation, I recognized early on in life that spending time helping others was not only a worthwhile venture, it was the surest thing to seeing our world become a better place.
My goals for you
Together, I want us to fully recognize that the only real limitation to aspirations is in our minds - and we can overcome that! We not only dream, we put together meaningful plans to see those dreams come to fruition, whether it's the ordinary or the extraordinary. These are practical and applicable to your circumstances.
