Hi, I’m Dr. davis
I am a clinical psychologist working with adolescents and adults as individuals, couples, or in groups. My goal is to help people work through problems in order to enhance their quality of life, increase their enjoyment of work, family, and intimate relationships, and meet new challenges with optimism and confidence. I specialize in treating addictions, personality disorders, anxiety, trauma, depression, and grief. I also conduct psychological assessments for employment, medical, and governmental licensing requirements. Working from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework and employing mindfulness-based therapies, my goal is to help you gain freedom from distress and suffering in order to lead a life of greater satisfaction and achievement.
I have experience working in college counseling centers, the child welfare system, and for several years with the chronically ill in community mental health settings. I have also been on the staff in residential psychiatric sites treating individuals with addictions, trauma, and other behavioral disorders. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Chestnut Hill College, a Masters in Social Work degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Master of Divinity degree from Yale University.
Dr. Davis is a board-licensed psychologist in both Maryland and Pennsylvania.
My Approach
I have been fortunate to have worked with several expert mentors in the field of psychology specializing in counseling, assessment, and the treatment of addictions. My approach is practical and always focused on the needs of the client. I have expertise in several different approaches to treatment, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapy. I also incorporate mindfulness-based therapies and teach clients mindfulness skills as part of their therapy where appropriate. Some clients desiring a more nontraditional approach are also open to incorporating yoga as an adjunctive therapy and to promote general psychological wellness.
