Daphne is amazing, soft spoken, comfortable, and supportive. I feel safe with her and my vulnerabilities, she breaks down my feelings to get me to a place I’ve never been before, and drives me to think deeply and differently. I absolutely recommend, 10/10!

As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and significant life transitions.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with deep expertise in addressing issues facing women, young adults, and multicultural communities. My work focuses on empowering clients to develop stronger communication skills, overcome social anxiety, and rediscover their sense of purpose and self-love.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I support individuals dealing with relationship dynamics, workplace stress, midlife transitions, and family complexities. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding, healing, and personal growth, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions and develop meaningful strategies for wellness.
I am committed to walking alongside my clients, honoring their unique experiences and helping them build resilience, self-understanding, and emotional strength.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
