Her approach is supportive and direct, with an emphasis on accountability and creating workable next steps for day-to-day life.

Dr. Davis has specialty training and a graduate certificate in Loss and Healing, along with volunteer experience in hospice and hours completed in a Pastoral Care program toward chaplaincy. Her interest in loss extends beyond bereavement to include changes such as the end of relationships, shifts in identity, and career disruption. Born and raised in Florida, she values reading and travel, and approaches therapy with deep respect for the challenges people face and the strengths they can rediscover along the way.
