I feel so lucky to have been matched with Dr. Davis on BetterHelp. At first I was skeptical that I would be able to trust and connect with someone who I was only talking to virtually, but I quickly felt comfortable with Dr. Davis in my very first session. She is so easy to talk to and is genuinely caring. The time flies by in each of our sessions, and I always leave feeling lighter and having learned something. I appreciate the thoughtful advice and feedback that she gives. She is accepting and nonjudgmental, and always holds space for all of my emotions. I appreciate her very much.

I am a mental health professional with over ten years in the field. I was very hesitant of the online format. Dr Davis put me at ease very quickly and was able to intuit my needs without struggle. I trust her. In truth, I find her more adept that most I have worked with on a professional basis. She is sensitive to my varied topics of concern and is highly adaptable when they change from week to week. I thought I would have greater difficulty finding authenticity from an online therapist, I was mistaken. I'm very thankful to have Dr. Davis to lean on during these all to overwhelming times.

Dr. Davis has wonderful wisdom and insight to offer in every session we have. She is fantastic at respecting my feelings while also reminding me of the strength I do have to get through any given situation. I feel safe opening up to her about everything I need to talk about and she gives me plenty of space to speak and process. Her biblical input is also incredibly helpful when I’m having spiritual troubles or questions. It is great having Dr. Davis to check in with me every week as we both reflect on how things are going. I truly feel that I receive wise counsel with her.
