“I know few therapists, coaches, or guides who embody a wise heart like Dave. Dave is a uniquely gifted healer. The profound treatment effects of a single IFS unburdening session I did with Dave have sustained going on a year later. It is difficult to pin down which of Dave’s gifts may have contributed most to the sustained power of these effects: whether his capacity for moment-to-moment tracking informed by decades of mindfulness-awareness practice; his empathy and relatability in service of the healing process; his authentic and spacious attunement, allowing for my own wisdom to unfold; his unconditional positive regard, allowing for all parts of me to feel welcome in the process… In the end, it is perhaps simply Dave’s humanity—in one tradition what might be called his vajra heart—that has contributed most to these sustained treatment effects. Suffice it to say, on whatever healing journey you may choose to embark with this uniquely gifted healer, know that you will be in very wise and very capable hands.”

When I set out to find a psychedelic integration coach, I wanted a compassionate listener, a good communicator, and someone with wisdom and experience in working with psychedelics. As a psychotherapist myself, it was vital to find someone genuinely interested in getting to know me, and connecting with me authentically. I set the bar high as I realized I needed a person I could trust to support the sacred work I had in mind. In many ways, I feel like I hit the "psychedelic guide jackpot” when I met Dave! He far exceeds the criteria I was looking for in a guide. Dave is thoughtful, empathetic, and knowledgeable. His passion for his work is evident, as is his patience and care. The healing I was able to find in a short time with Dave's help was absolutely life-changing! I chose to do 3-sessions to allow for preparation, guided experience, and integration. The level of healing I achieved was a direct result of this holistic approach. Dave helped me every step of the way, and set me up for successful outcomes. Dave is an amazing sweet soul, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to help navigate a psychedelic journey!

Deep understanding, warmth, and wisdom are all facets of Dave's presence, and as such, I experience his presence as a balm. Dave's listening is spacious, generous, and completely accepting. He also brings an exceptionally bright and observant mind to our interactions; he is intimately familiar with inner landscapes and is a wonderful articulator of what can feel ineffable. With all these qualities combined, Dave puts me at ease and knows how to support my reflection, insight, and clear-seeing.
