About Me

I have always wanted to help people since I was little. I find great satisfaction in helping others find greater relief, self-compassion, and joy in their life. I believe that each person needs to experience a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental relationship that can unlock new perspectives and their own capacity for healing. I specialize in treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders and the emotional, spiritual, social, and/or attachment wounds that often drive them. I have been married since 2012 and we have 3 beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with family, reading, playing video-games and board games, and outdoor recreational activities. I also enjoy learning new things. I currently work full-time with Wasatch Behavioral Health in the Men's Outpatient substance use treatment program (https://www.wasatch.org/). I also meet with clients part-time in private practice (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/david-skiles-south-jordan-ut/1287593).
