at a quick glance

are you:

  • drowning in your day-to-day responsibilities?

  • stuck in repetitive habits or cycles, despite knowing they’re not helping you?

  • struggling to manage big, sometimes overwhelming, emotions?

  • feeling trapped in the past, or like it’s still affecting you in ways you don’t quite understand?

  • overlooking your wants/needs in relationships, yet still feeling disconnected or unfulfilled?

  • ready to learn more about yourself, get out of survival mode, and feel better?

…then you’re in the right place

my approach

collaborative & personalized

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Your voice matters and will guide our work together. I aim to tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs, ensuring we’re always on the same page as we navigate your journey.

integrative & adaptable

I incorporate tools from a variety of modalities to find what works best for you. Together, we’ll explore various techniques and strategies, adapting our sessions as your needs evolve. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable trying new tools that resonate with you.

authentic & approachable

You can expect a down-to-earth approach, as I hope to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Building a genuine connection is key to our work together, as it allows for open conversations and honest exploration of your thoughts and feelings.

  • “Reflecting on how many positive changes I’ve had the courage to make in my life since discharging from your care back in January, I’m feeling an overwhelming desire to let you know again that you are *by far* the best therapist I’ve ever seen, and you truly saved my life. 10000000x thanks to you — eternally grateful and indebted to you."

    FORMER ADULT CLIENT

  • “We can’t thank Davina enough for all that she’s done for our daughter and family. Our daughter genuinely felt she loved her and believed in her and that made all the difference. She likewise was outstanding in not just giving answers, but making us find our own answers. She also knew when it was appropriate to not indulge and when to draw clear lines. What she does is so important for the world and for each patient/family she touches.”

    PARENT OF A FORMER TEEN CLIENT

  • "Davina has gone above and beyond […] to shepherd us through a very difficult and emotional time. Her sessions with [client] proved to be productive and supportive in a way that allowed our son to reveal issues that had never before come to light. The environment she created in family sessions allowed us to illuminate and address issues in an honest way that allowed us to move forward in new directions.”
