Hi, I'm David

Innovo is latin for restarting or renewal. It is my belief that our problems and issues stem from a lack of really loving, which comes from a lack of self-worth, formed early in our lives. While this is not our fault, we still need to really find ourselves despite our challenges and learn to cope in healthy ways. This is the renewal we all need. Whether it is sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, or other difficult issues, therapy can be an important step in discovering who you really are and finding peace.

Client Testimonials

David has changed my life, and is continuing to change my life with every visit. I am so grateful for his patience and help guiding me through life.
I really like him. He is blunt when he needs to be and empathetic always. He only wants the best for you and is patient and genuinely cares.
David has been a godsend. He's sympathetic without being patronizing. His counsel is realistic and doesn't feel overwhelming. I was hesitant as a betrayal trauma wife to see a male therapist, but he has been exactly what we, and especially I, need.
Everything both my husband and I have experiences with so far has been great. We have felt very comfortable and have been learning ways to not only help with addiction recovery, but to improve our marriage. I didn't realize how much we needed that and I am grateful for all the help David has been giving us so far.
David is VERY helpful. When I have had to email him, his response time is really good too. I appreciate his time and his ability to explain things. He’s just awesome.
He makes me think and pushes me to do my best. He has opened up so many things in my own mind and also helped me understand my wife and how i affect her. I needed this and know i need to keep moving forward 
You have taught me, supported me, listened to me, and corrected me over the past 9 or so months. During that process, you have, in a VERY real way, helped me change my foundation -- or at least make significant progress on doing so. For the help you've offered me in this process thus far, in my opinion at least, you stand deserving of blessings and awards I just don't have the credibility to offer. Those feelings come after only seeing what you've done for just my wife and I. I can only imagine others who sit in your office on a regular basis have been able to experience similar feelings of gratitude after reflecting on where they are now, because of your help.
David is direct, and very insightful. I have learned a lot about myself, how to grow and be stronger. Yet he has also allowed me to cry, be vulnerable. I trust him completely. 
My husband was excited about his last session with you. Our pup ran off last night and he got emotional (had a dog hit by car when he was little) and actually talked about FEELINGS! You are an answer to years of my prayers. Thank you for your life, being prepared and willing to help us! And being so positive and accepting. (Pup did come home.)
