About

Hi! I’m Dr. Daphne, a licensed psychologist in California. For over 20 years, I’ve been passionate about helping people understand themselves more fully and create lives that feel aligned, meaningful, and right for them.I believe that each person thinks, feels, and processes the world in their own beautifully unique way and that these differences can hold real strengths! When we more deeply understand ourselves, we can use that insight to reduce stress, tap into abilities, and make supportive and empowering choices.  My approach is encouraging, practical, and goal-focused.  Growth and a deeper understanding of self can be thoughtful, empowering, and even exciting! I bring a broad perspective and a deep curiosity about how you learn, change, and thrive.  I’d be honored to support you as you build confidence in who you are in order to shape a life that truly fits you.

Education & Licensure
PsyD and MA from Loma Linda University, Loma Linda, California
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I believe differences in neurodiversity deserve respect and celebration! My focus is on creating a safe space where people don’t have to hide parts of themselves to be accepted.  I believe understanding oneself is empowering and provides insights to shape a life that feels authentic.  I strive to provide support and create a space where every individual feels valued and their strengths are recognized.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I recognize the unique strengths people already carry and build upon it.  I focus on what is already working.  I honor resilience, creativity, courage, insight, as well as your unique way of seeing and interacting with the world, and help you build on it to create the life you desire. I listen deeply and reflect back what I see. I honor people as whole, capable human beings. I believe that when someone feels seen and affirmed, they naturally start tapping into their own potential.
