Her integrated approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques alongside medication management, creating a holistic framework for mental health care.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dava understands the unique challenges that come with later life and midlife transitions, as well as health-related psychological issues like dementia.
