(she/her)
I focus on truly understanding you as an individual and valuing your unique experiences and perspectives because you are your own expert. My trauma informed approach emphasizes the importance of creating a supporting empathetic space where you feel heard and understood. By considering all aspects of your life (emotional, physical, social) we can work together to uncover your strengths, address challenges, and foster personal growth. This holistic perspective aims to empower you, enhance your self -awareness, and ultimately lead to significant and lasting changes.
You can expect to find an authentic connection where you feel genuinely understood and cared for. This supportive relationship forms the foundation for meaningful exploration and growth, helping you navigate challenges with confidence and resilience.
As a therapist, some of my strengths include strong communication skills, cultural respect, and active listening. My genuine care for people helps create a supportive and compassionate environment. Strong communication helps me build connections with the people I serve. Cultural humility allows me to respect and understand diverse backgrounds and perspectives, ensuring that each person feels valued and heard. Active listening enables me to fully grasp your experiences, allowing us to address your needs more effectively and collaboratively.
I love working with people who feel stuck, confused and defeated. People who may have experienced trauma in their past and have developed unhealthy coping skills to manage it.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
If CBT is a treatment method that fits your needs we will structure our sessions to be goal oriented. CBT is a great option to gain control of negative thoughts while treating mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and emotional concerns. We will work together to create meaningful changes in your life by addressing both your personal strengths and areas for growth.
Christian Counseling
As a graduate from a Christian college I am able to integrate faith into the therapy process to promote improved mental health from a biblical perspective.
Forensic Psychology
Experience working within the prison with individuals from all walks of life, various countries and cultures, and charges within the criminal justice system
Person-centered (Rogerian)

I chose Stephanie as my provider because she offered multiple ways of coping and treatment. I appreciated that she asked questions instead of myself having to talk about certain subjects
