Specialties
I specialize in Anger Intelligence™ - a nervous system-based approach to anger, conflict, and emotional regulation for adults, parents, and couples in the SF Bay Area.
With 15+ years in forensic and counseling psychology, I help clients who are tired of yelling at their kids, feeling constantly reactive, or repeating patterns they swore they'd break. This isn't traditional anger management or therapy - it's The SHIFT Method: strategy, science, and skill-building that creates real, lasting change.
Whether you're dealing with anger outbursts, high-conflict co-parenting, relationship friction, or burnout, you get real-world tools that work from someone who implements them myself. This work isn't about shame, it's empowerment.
Services: In-person concierge coaching (Bay Area), virtual 1:1 coaching, couples coaching, anger management evaluations, conflict resolution for individuals and families, group programs, and memberships.
It is courageous to do the work most won't consider. Let's get you out of survival and shift into something steadier.
History
Established in 2019.
These services are not therapy.
"For as long as I can remember I have been mediating between those I love. I often heard two separate arguments disguised as a discussion. As I grew older I realized the most basic skill we learn earliest in our life, communication, is often why relationships fail and resentments breed."
A Steady Space was founded in 2019 by Davina Hehn, a former forensic psychology practitioner turned full-time mental health coach. After formal training in therapy, she recognized that true change doesn’t happen in sterile therapy rooms with blanket diagnoses - it happens when people feel seen, supported, and equipped.
She built A Steady Space to be the place where people come to shift - out of chaos, out of generational patterns, out of auto-pilot, and into clarity, capacity, and confidence. What started as a solo coaching practice is growing into a full-scale virtual ecosystem for emotional wellness and skill-based transformation.
Meet the Business Owner: Davina H.
Davina isn’t your typical coach - and that's the point. With a master’s in forensic and counseling psychology, certifications in anger management, conflict resolution, & mediation, and a history of working with court-ordered clients, she brings serious training and human-first energy to her work.
She’s also a mom, wife, and someone who knows how damn hard it is to stay steady when life keeps life-ing. Her coaching style is honest, compassionate, and bold - like a professional friend whose job is to hold up a mirror to you, show you your blind spots, and provide a strategy to help you when you get sick of your own sh*t.
Much of our lives are spent in chaos, feeling lost and unsure. Her motivation here is basically this: to allow our time to build your secure space - to find your balance, get "steady" and inherit the skills necessary to cultivate the most effective version of yourself.
