Life presents complexities for all of us.

Sometimes, these struggles disrupt the fabric of ourselves and we lose sight of our own capacity for growth. I work closely with patients to understand these difficulties and bring clarity to parts of life that are obfuscated by hardship, trauma, relational conflicts or uncertainty.

Services Dr. Davisson Provides...

Individual Psychotherapy

Dr. Davisson practices psychotherapy from an integrative framework that emphasizes depth oriented approaches. This means she is interested in relationships, personal history, sociocultural, and family of origin experiences, and the nuanced ways these impact our access to personal satisfaction. She is grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic approaches, but integrates a variety of additional techniques in to her work including emotion focused, cognitive, trauma informed and mindfulness related interventions. Dr. Davisson strives to create a relaxed environment that emphasizes collaborative honesty and trust with her patients, custom tailoring treatment goals to each individual.

Couples/Marital Psychotherapy

Dr. Davisson sees couples in pre-martial, marital and/or relationship counseling for a wide range of issues. Couples are treated in an emotion-focused and object-relations framework, addressing attachment issues and breaches in trust including infidelity or other betrayals, communication, and intimacy/family issues. Couples therapy can be a valuable experience for couples at various stages of their relationship and doesn’t have to represent “the worst” circumstances. Many couples don’t realize the benefit of focusing on and exploring their relationship as it grows and changes. Dr. Davisson offers supportive guidance and honest feedback to couples through this process.
