Approach to Therapy

Dafna’s professional path is diverse - Their professional path is diverse - spanning research, software engineering, university teaching, clinical supervision, and years of therapeutic practice. This breadth shapes a flexible, grounded, and deeply human approach to working with people. Dafna tailors their style to your values, goals, and preferred ways of engaging. That may look like deep, attuned listening; offering guidance when it’s useful; serving as a thoughtful sounding board; or creating a safe, collaborative space to explore new possibilities for a life that feels more aligned.

Their areas of expertise include trauma, substance use, relationships, and intimacy—physical, emotional, and relational.

In addition to therapy, Dafna leads online process groups for people across the U.S. and internationally. These groups are not therapy groups; they are experiential spaces focused on how we show up in relationships, how we impact and are impacted by others, and how we can engage more effectively and authentically. They are powerful, growth‑oriented communities—and often a more accessible option.
