So thankful for Davina, her perspective and her assistance through this season in my life. She always points me to Truth, and shows me how to apply Truth to my daily life and suggests activities for me to practice between sessions.
She is priceless!

She does a good job communicating and outlining steps to take to try and improve. Is taking time to get to know me over the video sessions and so far has been a solid good experience

Listens to problems well. Helps you understand why on things you may not understand, and gives ways to deal with problems in appropriate manner.

I have been in therapy for almost 30 years and Davina is the best therapist I've ever had. All of my past therapist let me know that what I'm feeling is valid but Davina actually helps me process and prepare.
