Welcome! I am Dr. Davis. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. I have a Doctorate Degree in Nursing Practice and am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have served clients in the mental health field for over 11 years as a Registered Nurse in acute behavioral health facilities, in-patient psychiatric facilities, and also at a state mental health hospital. In addition, I have taught nursing students in both the classroom and at various clinical facilities. For over 3 years, I have provided psychiatric evaluations, follow up visits, and medication management as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at multiple long-term care and assisted living facilities throughout North Carolina and Virginia. I am passionate about what I do and am focused on helping clients to live the life they deserve. SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I am compassionate to help those who may have difficulty navigating their mental and emotional state.
I love working with individuals want to improve their quality of life but may not yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. Mental health issues are often times a "life long" struggle and sometimes individuals often feel stuck, overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious. Thorough psychiatric evaluation, proper diagnosis, and a tailor-made treatment plan to each individual person is necessary to optimize patient outcomes.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) has helped clients realize that they have the resources and skills needed for change within themselves. We’ll use MI to recognize how your priorities, values, and wisdom can affect reasons for change and support success. You will then use that knowledge to make informed choices about changing or not changing. While I may be an expert in helping an individual change; YOU are the expert of your own life.
