LPC, 3 years of experience
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.

Stephanie truly understands me and helps me process my emotions and stresses based on where I'm at each session. She lets me control the conversation and always knows exactly where to jump in and what to say. She's amazing!

Stephanie is such an active listener and met me exactly where I was at. She let me control the expectations for our therapy and provided assistance and guidance as needed. She's wonderful to work with and I've really noticed an improvement since starting with her!

It felt like I was talking to my most wise friend... I can't wait to see how I grow and learn through working with her.
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.
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.

A favorite treatment modality of mine is person centered approach. Focusing on the therapeutic alliance while providing unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence.
