Get to know me

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

During our initial session, we will begin with short introductions before delving into the particular challenges you are experiencing. As the client, you will determine the therapy's pace. We will collaborate to develop a customized treatment plan to guide our future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am not your textbook therapist! Actually, my clients call me the No BS therapist! Having worked with individuals from different walks of life for the past ten years, I have learned that therapeutic modalities are not a one-size fit all and that as your therapist, together we are able to pinpoint the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that works best for you for desirable outcomes in the therapy process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

"When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new story." – Brene' Brown. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to brave the root of their narratives. Let's dig deep and see what we find!

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Do you find it hard to stay focused on the present moment? If yes, then ACT can be a helpful tool for you. It is designed to assist you in moving forward through difficult emotions, so you can redirect your energy towards healing instead of dwelling on the negative and past experiences.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

The mind naturally divides into countless subpersonalities or parts. Each person possesses a Self, which can and should guide their internal system. To achieve balance and harmony within oneself, it is beneficial to look inward and identify positive aspects that can inform strategic life decisions.

Structural Family Therapy

There exists an invisible set of functional demands that organize the ways in which family members interact. Structural family therapy aims to establish or reinstate appropriate boundaries and facilitate effective communication to achieve such outcomes.

Trauma Informed Care

Trauma is the response of your mind and body to an event that is deeply distressing or disturbing, one that overwhelms your nervous system. While some may survive and recover swiftly, others may find the emotional wounds too profound, necessitating professional support and intervention.

I am very thankful that Stephanie is a part of my weekly life. She brings so much authentic and genuine conversation to help me grow as an individual. Her direct and unwavering personality keeps me afloat on days/weeks when I feel it’s unattainable. She is an amazing listener and brings you to perspectives that you may have never gotten without her guidance.
