I'm Stephanie, or Steph, and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Nevada. 3 fun facts about me is that I was born and raised in California, have traveled to over 30 countries, and am a barre instructor!
I entered this field due to a passion of working with children and have grown to enjoy working with a variety of ages and backgrounds.
First session
During our first therapy session, my goal is to provide a comfortable, safe setting in order to build rapport and explore the nature of what brought you to therapy.
Strengths
Feedback I've received from past clients are that I am very easy to build rapport with, a great listener, and am very warm, validating and adaptable to my client's needs.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I've been using DBT to help my clients bring awareness and understanding to their feelings and behaviors in order to promote change and growth. DBT is powerful in helping gain control and therefore improve regulation of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Strength-Based
I believe all my clients have special strengths and abilities that we'll dive and lean into in order to promote growth and change. It is important to focus on our qualities that are helpful and supportive in our lives when engaging in therapy.
