SONDERING

(verb): experiencing or engaging in the feeling of Sonder

Sonder is the deep awareness that every random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—filled with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness.

Meet David

Meet David Giorgio, LCSW

I work with individuals and couples to rediscover themselves, heal and repair relationships, paying attention to how our history influences our present. Through our work together, we build a skillful foundation for healing, both personally and interpersonally.

Grounded in a humanistic, strength-based framework, I draw from EMDR, CBT, ACT and trauma-responsive care. My style is collaborative, inclusive, and rooted in the belief that therapy should enable you to lead your life with intention, not passivity.

Let’s discover your path toward healing, growth, and change.
