Recognizing the value of deepening family bonds, he often works collaboratively with families to navigate complex relational boundaries, fostering new bridges of understanding within the home. D.’s focus on adolescence and emerging adulthood reflects his awareness of the profound emotional, cognitive, and physiological changes that occur during this critical period. With an increasing demand from young adults, his practice often addresses struggles such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, substance abuse, perfectionism, impulse management, family relationships, and identity development challenges.
