She became fully licensed to practice in Nebraska in June, 2012, and has also obtained a license to practice in Colorado.
Dr. Davis provides therapy and assessment services to individuals and families. A few of her clinical interests include multicultural issues, psychology and the law, and the functions of humor.

Her counseling approach is integrative, incorporating elements of cognitive behavioral treatment with psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, systemic, and dialectical concepts and interventions.
