Get Started
It’s heavier than it looks on the outside.
What happened didn’t just stay in the past – it still shows up in your body, your thoughts, your reactions.
You’ve learned how to keep going, but it takes a lot out of you.
Some days it feels like you’re always on edge, or completely shut down.
Either way, it’s exhausting to live like this.
Running on empty has become the norm.
You’ve been doing too much for too long, managing everything, thinking about everything, holding it all together.
Maybe your mind won’t slow down, or your focus feels scattered and hard to trust.
Rest doesn’t always feel restful, and downtime can come with its own kind of discomfort.
It’s hard to remember what it feels like, actually, to feel okay.
That sense of disconnection keeps growing.
Somewhere along the way, you lost touch with what you enjoy, what lights you up, and the people who mean the most to you.
Decisions feel harder, and even small things can feel like too much.
There’s a sense that you’ve been surviving, not really living.
And underneath it all, there’s a quiet pull toward something more.
Something in you is ready for change.
There’s a part of you that knows you don’t want to keep repeating the same patterns.
You want relief, maybe even a sense of freedom, but you’re not sure how to get there.
Starting over feels overwhelming, especially when you’ve already tried so many things.
Still, the idea of staying stuck feels even heavier.
This is where things can begin to shift.
Therapy offers a place to start making sense of what’s been weighing you down.
Together, we work to understand how your mind and body have adapted, and how those patterns can begin to change.
You don’t have to figure it all out at once or do it perfectly. We’ll take it slowly, next-right-step to the next. With the right support, you can feel more grounded, clearer, and more like yourself again.
I’ll walk with you as you create a life you really want to live.
Hello, I’m Daphne.
I work with individuals who are ready for more – more healing, peace, joy, and connection. My focus is on post-traumatic growth: helping you move through what’s been painful and into a life where you can actually thrive.
My own healing started long before becoming a therapist and was deeply shaped by creative expression: writing, art, collage, and poetry. Because of that, I often bring creative approaches to sessions, alongside more traditional modalities such as talk therapy, somatic work, and group-based healing.
I came to this work later, after a wide range of life experiences that continue to inform how I show up. My background includes nonprofit leadership, communications consulting, and co-founding an art gallery and co-working space.
I’m LGBTQIA+ allied, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-trained, religiously-neutral, and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
I believe, as poet Antonio Machado wrote, “you make the path by walking.” If you’re ready, this can be your first step.
What I Offer
Carrying this much for this long takes a toll, and it makes sense that something in you is ready for change. Therapy offers a place to sort through what’s been heavy and begin to move forward.
Ways to Work with Me
A uniquely personal space where you’re truly heard, validated, and never judged — skilled, confidential care that always moves at your own pace.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Healing at your pace, honoring your story with evidence-based approaches that help your nervous system find safety again.
Post-Traumatic Growth
Moving beyond surviving into thriving. Finding meaning, strength, and a new path forward after life’s most difficult chapters.
Creative & Narrative Healing
Writing, art, collage, and poetry as pathways to understanding. Creative expression gives language to what words alone can’t.
Written Exposure Therapy
An evidence-based approach that helps your brain process and file away traumatic memories so they stop ambushing you.
