Stephanie believes that each person’s background, life experiences, and personal values deeply shape how they see and navigate the world. She recognizes that every individual and every relationship is unique, which is why she takes the time to understand each person’s distinct perspective, strengths, and concerns. Stephanie is passionate about working with both individuals and couples, helping them explore challenges and take steps toward meaningful, lasting change.
She works collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and improve their overall quality of life. Stephanie has always been curious about what motivates people, how they think, what they value, and what they hope to achieve. As a therapist, she feels grateful to support clients in becoming the best version of themselves.
Stephanie approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients recognize and build on the skills, resources, and resilience they already possess. She guides clients in identifying patterns that may no longer serve them while highlighting the strengths that can support meaningful change. Through this approach, clients often gain a greater sense of agency, confidence, and clarity, allowing them to feel more present in their relationships and more rooted in their own values and goals.
She helps clients explore new coping strategies that move them away from habits that feel numbing or distracting and discover supportive ways to navigate challenges, ease stress, and reconnect with what brings them meaning and joy. With empathy and care, Stephanie supports couples in reopening lines of communication, healing emotional wounds, identifying barriers to closeness, and navigating sexual concerns. Her work emphasizes rebuilding trust, deepening emotional intimacy, and creating stronger connections. She believes that true healing and lasting change emerge from authentic relationships—both with oneself and with others.
Her approach to therapy blends techniques from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Existential Therapy, while also incorporating elements of Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment theory. She works with a diverse range of individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, panic, ADHD and neurodivergence, stress, grief and loss, loneliness, life transitions, chronic illness, women-specific concerns, self-esteem, and challenges faced by high achievers. Stephanie is also an LGBTQIA++ ally and is sex-positive, kink- and poly-aware, providing affirming and inclusive care to clients from all backgrounds and relationship structures.
