ABOUT DAVID
After 20 years of church-based ministry to adolescents (13-26-year-olds) and their families, I am transitioning to therapy. That’s right; I am one of those weird ducks that loves the energy of working with teenagers! I am attending Fuller Theological Seminary and finishing my MSMFT or masters in marriage, couple, and family therapy. I also have a master’s of cross-cultural studies and was a chaplain and Young Life missionary in Tanzania.
My wife and I have two boys, one in college in Montana and one in high school. We call Pasadena home, but our family all live on the East Coast. We have two small dogs that I spoil rotten much to the chagrin of my wife, and our happy places are mountain streams or the ocean. My fantasy life would include sailing around the globe while offering telehealth from my boat.
While I am not working, I enjoy my hammock, walking around the Rose Bowl, and watching great films. I also dig elaborate pranks on my friends and family. So if you see me on April first, be forewarned!
