About me

I know it can be a difficult decision to seek therapy. I am committed to providing compassionate and non-judgmental support by providing a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and safe.  I graduated from Texas Tech University with my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and I have a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and allowing me to get a sense of your reasons for seeking therapy in the first place. We will identify what your hoping to get out of our time together and make a plan for how we will move forward. I approach everything collaboratively to make sure that your needs are being met.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One strength of mine is helping people to feel comfortable right off the bat. I know that opening up to a complete stranger is inherently difficult, so I try to make it as low-stress as possible.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults struggling with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief/bereavement, suicidal thoughts, trauma, severe mental illness, and ADHD. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. No matter the pain you bring to the table, whether you think it's too big for me to handle or too small to matter, I am ready to walk with you through this journey of healing.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I use EMDR to treat a variety of issues, including trauma

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is my primary modality for talk therapy because I have found it to be both approachable and effective.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems is an innovative way to think about the internal processes we all already experience. It integrates well into the other modalities I use.

I am now a few months in with Stephanie, and am beyond grateful that she is helping me on my healing journey. She so non judgmental and really listens and I’m blown away by how easily she can offer guidance and helps me work through solutions that work for me… not just text book answers and points of view. Love the humor she brings to our sessions too, which are feel like easy flow conversations. So thankful for her and would highly recommend her to my closest friends and family. Thank you!

She was very nice and pleasant to talk to. She seemed very interested in helping me find the right therapist to fulfill my criteria. I felt respected. If she’d had the skills I was looking for she would have been my first choice.
