Our ability to love ourselves and others determines the quality of our lives.

Session rates are $160 for a 50 minute session (individual or couple) and $400 for a lie detector or maintenance test. If you have DMBA insurance, I'll bill them directly after your copay. For other insurance companies, we'll charge you upfront and give you a superbill to give them for reimbursement. You'll want to contact them about out-of-network reimbursement rates and what they'll cover ahead of time to have a better idea of your out-of-pocket cost. Please contact us with questions or to schedule a session!


My name is David and I'm glad you're here! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and supervisor. I have trained in diverse types of therapy including psychotherapy, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I am also a certified sex addiction therapist or CSAT (www.iitap.com).


I have been involved in therapy for the past 11 years working with individuals, couples, and families. I attended UVU and BYU for graduate studies and started out as a clinical director of an adolescent treatment center for boys struggling with sexual addiction. I also work with Addo Recovery and teach family relations as adjunct faculty for BYU-Idaho. My parents divorced when I was 5 and I have seen a lot of difficult challenges throughout my life. I have now been married 19 years and have 5 children of my own. I enjoy date nights, traveling and hiking (as you can tell from the pictures), and I love to watch the Food Network with our kids. My greatest satisfaction is in helping people discover their self-worth and watching the changes that follow.
