Hi, I'm a regular gal, with adult kids & have been working in this field since 1990. I will never say I have 'seen it all', as I haven't. I have a pretty good sense of humor, along with a quiet side. Therapy is a place to look inward, to figure it out.

Greatest strength is probably the fact I can talk to anyone about just about anything.

I will walk along side of you as needed to do this.

First session

The first session is an intake assessment where I will review the paperwork & self screens you complete prior to this appointment. It is a bit formal in nature, as a clinical path will be developed with you. This 'path' is the treatment goal, which is what we will work towards in our time together.

Strengths

Greatest strength is probably the fact I can talk to anyone about just about anything.

Ideal clients

After having worked with teenagers and those in the legal system, I have found I prefer seeing adults. Adults who are interested in figuring out what is going on & finding solutions to what is troubling to them.

Treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

This is your therapy. The hour of time slotted is for you. I look forward to being along side of you as we discuss things that are the most troubling for you, at your pace.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Oh, how I enjoy helping clients understand their thinking and behaviors along with feelings are all a part of who they are and why they do what they do & why change is so very difficult.

Compassion Focused

Depending on the person and what is going on, this is given at different levels in the session.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

This method is used frequently for those with EAP sessions. Short-term solutions that can be implemented with results.

Motivational Interviewing

Is a skill that is helpful in getting the person to internalize their own thoughts for change.

I've been seeing Stephanie as a patient for over a year now, and the things I appreciate about her is that we have compatible mindsets. Having a therapist who is solution oriented helps reinforce my confidence in decision making, which is an area that is often difficult for me as an autistic person. But she's also a very authentic human, so the clinical evidence-based practices are integrated naturally that using those skills get integrated seamlessly into life over time.

I appreciate stephanie's openness and ability to help me redirect my thinking. I appreciate that she can explain to me how to understand a different way of thinking. I can see my growth with her. Since we began.
