Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Daphne! I believe that understanding what's happening in your life is the first step toward changing what isn't working. I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. Whether you're feeling pulled in too many directions, struggling with your confidence, or having difficulty moving past a challenging experience, my goal is to help you gain clarity and feel more in control of your next steps.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience, I've worked with people from many different backgrounds and circumstances. My work in behavioral and mental health settings has taught me the importance of meeting people where they are, listening without assumptions, and helping them recognize the strengths they can build upon.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should give you more than a place to talk. It should also help you recognize patterns, see situations from different perspectives, and develop practical ways to improve your everyday life.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and strength-based techniques to help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, manage difficult emotions, and work toward realistic goals. We'll focus on what matters most to you and the changes you're ready to make.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I'll take time to understand your concerns, what's been challenging, and what you'd like to accomplish.

You can expect genuine conversations, thoughtful questions, and a therapist who is invested in your progress. I'll offer encouragement while helping you recognize opportunities for growth and develop the confidence to handle challenges in healthier ways.
