Learn to Grow with The Relationship Process

Relationships are the foundation of our growth. Yet intergenerational traumas have eroded this foundation, leaving many of us struggling to thrive. The Relationship Process offers a way forward. By combining evidence-based practices, somatic tools, and conscious communication strategies, this process rebuilds the foundation of healthy, thriving relationships.

I use this process in coaching sessions, workshops, and talks to foster non-violent, empowered, thriving relationships for clients. The process allows us to address the most common and harmful relationship challenges—emotional dysregulation, ineffective communication, resistance to change, and abuses of power—while building the essential skills needed to grow and thrive: presence, consciousness, competency, agency, and capacity.

Psychedelic Consciousness & Integration

While the science of psychedelics for healing holds distinct promise, these plants and compounds are known by many indigenous cultures’ as essential elements of growth and healing rituals spanning history. In much of the world, the legal use of these medicines is still in question. Still, many choose to engage in ritual experiences at their own risk. My harm-reduction approach educates clients about the risks, rewards, and opportunities within the psychedelic landscape and helps integrate the experiential lessons into practical life changes.

Empowered Relationships

Learn to Reconnect with The Relationship Process!

Many of us blame our partners or ourselves for what are really systemic problems passed down through culture— robbing us of authentic, connective and fulfilling relationships that require us to abandon our authenticity. Using The Relationship Process, Skills For Change & Cooperative Communication, David and partners explore how to shift relationships to include greater intimacy, skill, and understanding of how to reconnect.

Cooperative Workplace Communication

A healthy workplace doesn’t avoid conflict, it engages with it using skillful means. Corporate hierarchies often strangle communication and produce a distrust that sabotages productivity. Using the The Relationship Process, with David, teams get results by through development of shared tools and language to manage workplace conflict. David trains teams using the Cooperative Communication model to shift culture consciously, use power responsibly, solve problems effectively, and enjoy healthy workplace culture.

From my clients

  • “I was unsatisfied with 2 different life coaches I had before I found David. From our first conversation, I felt an immediate connection with him. I felt comfortable that I could be open and not judged for me being honest with myself. What I needed in a life coach or therapist was someone who could listen, give me tools to use, and willingness to challenge me to achieve higher. We don’t seek help if we are happy with who we are, so if you want to change, David has the tools you can implement in your life to become a better version of yourself.”

    — C.H. (Salt Lake, UT)

  • “I reached out to David seeking career coaching during COVID-19. He and I established weekly and bimonthly phone sessions via 1hr calls. For me, the tools David has shared have led me to feel more confident with what I can and can not take control of in my life. One of his strengths is his ability to empathize and connect with others. If you are looking for couples coaching, career support, or help with change, etc. you will be exploring so much more. I am so grateful to have started the journey and to have had David's constant support along the way. I recommend you give him a try!!”

    — K.J. (San Luis Obispo, CA)

  • “David is an exceptionally gifted coach. I have worked with many therapists over the past several decades, and know how rare it is to find someone like him. He is tactful and yet not afraid to challenge his clients in places that ask for that. My partner and I come from very different places and have very different therapy needs, and David somehow manages to meet us both exactly where we are at and give each of us a picture into where our work lies independently as well as together. In my experience, he shines as a couples coach, and I refer all of my friends to him with confidence that he can provide them with excellent support and insight.”


    — M.M. (Grass Valley, CA)


  • “I felt called to reach out & let you know how much I have appreciated you, at this critical juncture in my life, and that I am grateful for the few sessions I have had the honor to experience your calling & gift as a Coach. You have exceptional listening skills and you are such a kindhearted spirit. Thank you for the tools I have implemented ~ giving myself space for self care daily, to nurture myself & allow myself permission to feel. I have created a vision who I am I have been mapping my progress & it has all been helping!”

    — R.P. (Santa Cruz, CA)

  • “When I first reached out to David, I knew I needed guidance but that was all I knew. After my time working with David, I have learned so many strategies for excelling at life in general. Thank you David, for helping me learn to be more self-inquisitive, to value myself, and for continuing to guide me in a positive direction!”

    — A.P. (Pgh. PA)

  • “I was ‘STUCK’ and now I am ‘UNSTUCK!’

    We had several sessions twice weekly for one month and I learned a lot about myself and my strengths and weaknesses. David's approach to my journey was very compassionate and understanding. He validated my feelings and emotions that I was experiencing with helpful tools to have a breakthrough with my ‘old reactions’ and he taught me ‘new reactions’ to my relationships. My personal and professional! If I ever feel ‘STUCK’ again I will be calling David to help me.

    — J.B. (Santa Cruz, CA)

  • “I’ve been busting my ass trying out therapists for me and my partner for years….working with you is the first thing that’s felt like it has really worked and produced results. Working with you has been truly great and I feel really good about it.”

    — E. T. (St. Louis, MO)

  • I wish there was a 6th star to give Dave. He has helped me change my life professionally, creatively, interpersonally, and spiritually more than any other single human. He has helped counsel me in times of severe distress, helped me plan for by biggest personal accomplishments, and throughout it all, has helped me really believe that I can love and take care of myself. What I really value about our sessions is that he can repeat back to me what I am saying with a clarity I sometimes have difficulty accomplishing on my own. His coaching is hyper practical and he is surprisingly far-reaching in his expertise. I have a notebook full of mantras, sayings, mental jumpstarters, and practices that he has given me as tools. The tools work - they are not overly abstract, and every single session I come away with something (usually several!) that I can apply right away.

    -B.B. (Los Angeles, CA)

  • "BaJezzus, Thank you David!!

    Meeting wit you is so wonderful, every time. You're so skilled at wrangling us back in and always have such a great sense of where to go....

    you can use that as a testimonial if you want."

    -L.C. (Albuquerque, NM)

  • "I am taking a walk and feeling very securely attached with myself and I’ve just been thinking a lot about how I’ve done a lot of work , but I frfrfrrr could not have gotten to where I’m at without your guidance and kindness and wisdom! i have been thinking a lot about that wheel we created and its really impacted me and the way i think about my life. I have never worked with a therapist like you and i fr never thought id be comfortable enough to work with a man but here i am and its so sick lol!!! it’s just been so cool to see my own growth which came from our collaboration and your support. Its enough to bring me to tears!"
