I am a licensed therapist located in Southern Maryland. I have been practicing therapy for over ten years, first working for a nonprofit agency, now in private practice. I have two masters degrees (MA: English, William and Mary; MS: Counseling, Johns Hopkins). At my previous position, I worked with both children and adults. My primary theoretical orientations are Rogerian (Client Centered), and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). My empathetic nature, listening skills, and practical suggestions have led to successful outcomes with my clients throughout my counseling career. I taught English and Latin in a public high school for over thirty years prior to my counseling career. I have two grown, married children. My personal interests include reading, photography, music, and spending time with my one year old golden retriever, Henry.

Every session we have goes so smoothly that neither one of us can believe how fast the time goes, we have to set an alarm or we will just keep talking, I have great confidence in my therapist and his personality gets my personality which is a relief when you are a little strange like I am, lol.

Davis is an amazing therapist! I have struggled for years to connect and have a therapist who doesn’t judge me or understands that I am not “cookie cutter” therapy client. I have continued to work with Davis and recommend him to anyone who is looking for a therapist after many negative encounters!

It’s my first time trying therapy, and I didn’t expect to meet someone like Davis. He’s kind, funny, good listener, and understanding. Even on days I don’t have particular problems, I still feel better after talking with him!
