In-person counselling fosters direct rapport, leveraging nonverbal cues for deeper insight and connection. This dynamic setting is conducive to crisis intervention, skill-building, and experiential activities. As a counsellor, I prioritize creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I adapt techniques to each client's unique needs, using observation to guide interventions effectively. Talk therapy can facilitate improved quality of life by mediating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, relational conflict, intimacy disorders, stress, and other life-impacting circumstances.

Online counselling offers accessibility and convenience, allowing clients to receive support from the comfort of their chosen environment. Through a secure digital platform, clients gain flexible scheduling options and broader therapist selection. As a counsellor, my online approach emphasizes creating a virtual space of trust and empathy. I employ verbal cues and active listening to compensate for the lack of physical presence, while using technology to share resources and track progress effectively. Guided by ethical standards, I ensure confidentiality and tailor interventions to individual & couples needs, fostering personal growth, emotional well-being, and positive transformation in a digital landscape.

Hi, I am Davis, the sole proprietor of Desert Solace Counselling & Recovery (Formerly “Between The Vines Counselling”).

Are there aspects of your past experiences that you believe might be influencing your current situation or emotional state? Is your sense of self being challenged by your constant urges & stressors? I recognize that my clients can experience many hurdles within their relationships & intimate partnerships, including but not limited to; sexual addiction, infidelity, compulsive pornography use, relationship & intimacy concerns, and non-monogamous lifestyles.

I am an Associate Sexual Addictions Therapist with expertise in co-occuring addictions such as substance use & sex all through a Trauma-Informed lens. My modalities are eclectic overall, emphasizing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy & Emotion-Focused Therapy for individuals, couples & polyamorous relationships.

With a range of knowledge & competencies, I will guide you to overcome any feelings of anxiety, shame, and/or embarrassment that may be holding you back. Whether this is your first time counselling or a continuation of your journey, I will rebuild and navigate not only the relationship with yourself but with those you trust & hold close.

Looking forward to connecting with you.
