Hello, I’m Davia, and I’m of Jamaican descent. Seeking mental health counseling is normalizing because mental health professionals continue to speak about, advocate for, and accept its presence in our clients’ lives. You are not alone if you seek mental health counseling. In fact, you are courageous and aware that getting help is a sign of indomitable strength. Are you lacking boundaries or wondering why life seems topsy-turvy? Do you function in survival mode but struggle with exhaustion or burnout? I help clients develop mindfulness to reduce stress, anxiety, or depression while increasing balance and a healthy lifestyle. We will work together to identify areas that are out of alignment. In our sessions together, I will utilize evidence-based techniques along with grace and compassion so you can increase your awareness and confidence. Welcome to your journey of healing!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The client can expect a compassionate environment in which their needs, expectations, and goals will be evaluated to set a foundation to build upon and begin working toward healing.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients with assessing their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by empowering them to evaluate the purpose of processing each area. With narrative therapy, clients gain the freedom to express in detail their lives, especially if it includes past or current traumas. Mindfulness can help build awareness and self-regulation of emotions that feel pressured or cause negative impacts on one’s life and mental health.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I enjoy helping clients set healthy boundaries, goals, and expectations for their lives by evaluating current stressors, or past or current traumas. Working towards goals is effective but don’t shy away from counseling if you don’t know where to start. Helping people get unstuck is something I also enjoy, and I look forward to working with you on your healing journey.
