Hi, Iâm Daphne, a Licensed Professional Counselor/state approved clinical supervisor with over 12 years of experience helping individuals navigate intense emotions, mood instability, and trauma-related challenges and more. I provide a warm, steady, and emotionally attuned space where your experiences are respected and explored with care. I specialize in working with depression, bipolar spectrum concerns, emotional dysregulation, trauma-related mood shifts, and identity-related struggles that can make daily life feel overwhelming. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support emotional balance, insight, and lasting change. EMDR services will be available soon. Clients often report improved emotional regulation, stronger self-understanding, healthier relationships, and increased confidence. I aim to honor your story while helping you build resilience and practical tools for long-term growth. Please note: Requests for letters, evaluations, or documentation outside of standard therapy services require additional fees and are not billable to insurance. ESA letters are available after intake and two additional therapy sessions.
Weâll start by getting to know each other and creating a comfortable, safe space for you. Iâll ask about what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to achieve. This is also a chance for you to ask questions about how therapy works, what to expect moving forward, and how weâll work together. Weâll discuss how sessions typically run, and set some initial goals based on what feels most important to you. Thereâs no pressure to share everything all at once, weâll go at your pace. The first session is all about building trust and starting a partnership focused on your well-being. After this session, youâll have a clearer idea of how therapy can support you and what the next steps will look like.
One of my greatest strengths is intuitive empathy and deep listening. I create a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe to be fully yourself. I help you recognize and build on strengths you may not yet see, empowering you to take ownership of your healing at your own pace. As a creative and naturally expressive therapist, I often incorporate imagery, symbolism, metaphors and body animation to deepen insight and make complex emotional experiences more accessible and understood. My approach is eclectic and tailored, blending evidence-based methods to fit your unique needs and lived experience. Clients often experience greater emotional balance, self-awareness, stronger relationships, and increased confidence. Above all, I am committed to walking alongside you with compassion, authenticity, and steady support as you work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I am best suited to support individual clients who are deeply self-aware, highly sensitive, and navigating complex inner emotional worlds. Many have been told they feel âtoo muchâ and are ready for a deeper, more validating therapeutic experience. If you feel overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with self-trust, or experience parts of yourself that feel conflicted or misunderstood, my approach may be a good fit. I also work especially well with individuals who appear high functioning externally while managing intense emotions, identity shifts, or trauma-related responses internally. My focus is on strengthening inner resources, increasing emotional clarity, and building practical coping tools while supporting deeper healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
In our sessions, weâll explore the different âpartsâ of you, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and roles. You might notice parts that try to protect you, parts that carry pain, and parts that feel stuck. Iâll help you get to know these parts with curiosity and compassion, not judgment. Together, weâll work toward helping these parts feel heard and supported, so you can feel more balanced and connected to your true self, the calm, wise core thatâs always within you.
Strength-Based
I believe you already have many strengths, even if theyâre hard to see right now. Together, weâll explore the skills, values, and resources youâve used to get through tough times. Weâll build on whatâs working and use that as a foundation for moving forward. You are more capable than you may realize, and Iâm here to help you tap into that power.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
In our work together, weâll focus on helping you build skills to manage intense emotions, navigate relationships, and stay grounded during tough moments. Iâll support you in learning practical tools like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. At the same time, weâll hold space for both acceptance and change. You can honor where you are while also working toward where you want to be. Weâre in this together, and Iâll guide you every step of the way.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In our sessions, Iâll help you learn how to slow down and notice whatâs happening in the present moment without judgment. Together, weâll practice simple techniques like breathing, body awareness, and gentle observation of thoughts and emotions. You donât have to change everything right away; weâll focus on building awareness so you can respond to stress and challenges with more clarity and calm. This approach can help you feel more grounded, even when things around you feel overwhelming.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our work together, weâll look at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Sometimes the way we think about things can make challenges feel even heavier. Iâll help you notice unhelpful thought patterns and learn how to shift them in ways that support your goals. Together, weâll practice strategies you can use in daily life to reduce stress, improve your mood, and feel more in control. You donât have to do it alone, weâll take it one step at a time.
