Hi, I’m Davida, a Licensed Counselor, Somatic Psychotherapist, and Founder of Courageous Counseling Center.

I know what it's like to suffer loss, experience isolation and trauma, and feel helpless in relationships. Being human is not easy, and reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. I'm here to guide you through the therapy process so you can create the life you want.

Think of me as your ally who will walk with you through this challenging and difficult time. With compassion, insight, and honest communication, we explore the territory of your emotions, behaviors, and limiting patterns and beliefs to help you gain perspective on your life and relationships. This increases your resiliency and capacity to handle life’s stressors and struggles, bringing you more ease, peace, and happiness.

I have extensive experience in the field of counseling, having taught in the Master of Science Counseling Program at Prescott College and directed the Somatic Emphasis. My background includes diverse studies in the creative arts, body-centered therapies, and midwifery. I've taught at Esalen Institute and 1440 Multiversity, and continue to work for Tony Robbins leading 5Rhythms movement meditation and embodiment practices at Unleash the Power Within and Life Mastery events.
