Hello,
You're probably curious to learn a bit about me and my style. Here goes..
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan, California, and Virginia and have been working with individuals who are looking to make some kind of change in their life for the past 5 years. I began working with women who are survivors of domestic abuse and/or sexual assault and have also worked with individuals who are struggling with substance use and are looking to make a change in their life. Each and every person brings a unique set of strengths and talents to the table that they already have. I believe that each individual I work with has the chance to succeed with their goals and skills that we develop together in sessions
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness utilizing a trauma informed empowerment approach. I am also a sex positive and kink aware therapist. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you. It would be an honor for me to be part of your journey

Still and always has been the best therapist I’ve ever had! And I’ve seen dozens. We work on things. She understands it’s a marathon not a race. And it’s been 3 years but I’m in a much better place today. Ideations have stopped (knock on wood) we talk about positive and things that I’m struggling with. She 100% understands my struggles and goes at my speed that is healthy for me and not what I know my parents want. Because it’s not about them. But me.

Daphne is very thoughtful and takes the time to read through what I post in chat and journals, as well as poems; it must have taken her a lot of time to do that, since I was posting constantly. She was helpful in connecting me with resources to help both myself and my partner, and responding regularly, as well as being warm and encouraging in our video session. I was nervous about doing therapy but felt very comfortable with her.

Daphne is extremely reliable, and one of the most kind hearted people I’ve ever spoken to. I trust her opinion and help very much and would recommend her to anyone. Most of the time I just need someone to listen and she’s so great at that. She taught me not to “ should” on myself and I live by those words. Any time I’ve spoken to her I feel like I’m getting a hug. 10/10 would recommend

When I signed up a few weeks ago I was terrified. I was scared of who I would be talking to, what they would say, and what they would think of me. After the first few messages with Daphne, my worries already started to disappear. By the time I got to our first session, I was completely comfortable with speaking with her. Daphne is warm, and so incredibly helpful. You can really tell how much she truly cares for the people she's working with. She is extremely good at making you feel less alone in your feelings and experiences. She is so open to new ways of thinking, and working at your own pace. Because of Daphne, I know that my future will only get better. If you were paired with Daphne for one reason or another, I would consider you extremely lucky.
