A Whole-Person Approach
Davida practices relationship-based psychotherapy, integrating a whole-person approach to treatment.
This means she doesn’t just focus on symptoms - she looks at:
The individual
The family system
The origin of family history
The origin of trauma
The effect of trauma on addiction
Interpersonal dynamics
Behavioral patterns
Unspoken emotional roles
Addiction and its impact on relationships
Virtual and in-office sessions available.
She focuses on improving:
Interfamilial relationships
Communication and emotional regulation
Behavioral patterns within the family unit
Individual roles and subsystems within relationships
People don’t exist in isolation - and neither do their struggles.
Why Davida Does This Work
Davida’s work is deeply shaped by her experience - both personal and professional.
From a young age, she learned to observe, listen, and sense what others were feeling beneath the surface. Later in life, experiences with grief, addiction, recovery, and deep personal therapy clarified something essential:
“People aren’t broken.
They’re hurting, overwhelmed, and often disconnected from themselves and each other.”
Therapy, for Davida, isn’t about fixing people.
It’s about helping them understand themselves - and make different choices from that understanding.
“In sessions with Davida I felt truly heard. I gained practical tools that fundamentally improved my well-being. Her unique blend of empathy and insight always created a safe, transformative space for genuine long-term healing.”
— COREY RABIN

Practical Details
Format: Virtual & In-Office Sessions
In rare, high-need situations, Davida may consider in-home support as part of ongoing care. This is determined on a case-by-case basis and is not a standard offering.
Davida keeps her practice intentionally small to protect the quality of care and the depth of the work.
