Is is possible to claim "Head of Household" status without claim my daughter as a "Dependent"??

My daughter is age 23, full time student, lived with me whole year, but made over $10k income. I believe this criteria qualifies her as a "qualifying child" for me to file as Head of Household status.  However.... I do NOT want to claim her as my dependent on my return.  She will file her own tax return and claim her own income.  So is it possible to claim Head of Household WITHOUT claiming her as a dependent, and if so, how?
