She believes that the connection between therapist and client is pivotal in supporting individuals as they navigate their emotional landscapes and achieve their goals. Under her guidance, clients experience the freedom to express their feelings authentically and gain deep insights into their mental health journey. With a keen understanding of how transgenerational patterns, attachment experiences, and core beliefs formed in childhood influence current challenges, Davorka meticulously observes emotional language, cognitive processes, and somatic symptoms in her clients. She recognizes that suppressed negative emotions can manifest as physical symptoms, problematic behaviors, or relational difficulties. By paying attention to these signals, clients can uncover their underlying meanings, leading to more effective coping strategies. Davorka skillfully integrates brain-based therapy with psychodynamic and emotion-focused interventions to create a holistic framework for healing. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Education with an Emphasis in Counseling at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, her research interests converge on relational neuroscience, resilience, attachment, and intergenerational healing and recovery. Davorka's commitment to her clients and her continual growth as a therapist make her an invaluable resource for individuals seeking healing from anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.
