"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung. Hi, I am Stephanie! I am a licensed psychotherapist in both Hawaii and Texas and Board Certified in QEEG Neurofeedback. Building a warm, supportive, and empowering environment is crucial to helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals and ultimately live happier, more conscious lives. My naturally curious, non-judgmental, and caring personality helps clients to explore deep-seated emotions, have greater insight, and start to see real-life changes in the way they live, love, parent, and work. We are social beings searching for connection and meaning. Life's challenges can block us from true happiness and authenticity, jeopardizing our values, relationships, and sense of Self. I work to empower my clients through an authentic, humanistic, strengths-based perspective. I specialize in intergenerational trauma, addictions, parenting coaching, assertiveness training, couples, and family therapy. I see life as a journey of learning, where connection is key, and there is no time to waste giving away time and energy to the things that get in the way of serving our highest good. I invite you to connect and begin your healing journey today. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is my ability to connect with my clients and provide them a safe, nonjudgmental, and respectful environment to work through their issues. I am direct, yet I allow my clients to set the pace of therapy.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am passionate about working with adults who are ready for a change in their lives. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their relationships.

Humanistic
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will control and direct your life.” -Carl Jung As a therapist dedicated to fostering healing and growth, I specialize in humanistic therapy to support clients navigating trauma and attachment challenges. This compassionate, client-centered approach emphasizes your inherent worth and capacity for self-discovery, creating a safe space to process painful experiences. By focusing on your unique story, humanistic therapy helps rebuild trust, strengthen self-esteem, and repair relational wounds often rooted in early attachment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is invaluable in my practice, as it helps my client's take control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by deepening insight and learning practical, evidence-based tools. CBT empowers my clients to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression while building lasting resilience. Through our work together, you'll learn and take away tools like emotional regulation, problem solving, thought-stopping, grounding techniques, and reframing negative beliefs to be able to handle life on life's terms.
EMDR
As a trauma-informed therapist, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help you heal from the lingering psychological, emotional, and physiological effects of trauma. Science continues to teach us how the mind and body are interconnected, and what affects us emotionally also impacts us physically. This transformative, research-backed therapy utilizes bilaterial eye movements that stimulate the natural healing process of the brain to work through, desensitize, and reprogram our beliefs around traumatic experiences. Clients often experience profound relief from flashbacks, anxiety, and self-doubt, reclaiming a sense of peace and control.
Neurofeedback
I have specialized training and experience in qEEG-guided neurofeedback - a cutting edge, personalized approach to optimize brain function and enhance mental well-being. By mapping your unique brain activity with qEEG technology, we pinpoint imbalances linked to anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or sleep issues. Through targeted neurofeedback sessions, you'll train your brain to self-regulate, improving focus, emotional regulation, and overall calm. This non-invasive, drug-free therapy empowers you with lasting skills to manage stress and unlick your potential. If you're seeking a science-backed path to a sharper, more balanced mind, feel free to send me a message or check out my website at eliteneurotherapy.com!
Couples Counseling
As a marriage and family therapist, I help couples and families transform tension into understanding and chaos into connection. Whether you're facing communication struggles, parenting challenges, or unresolved conflicts, this collaborative approach brings everyone's voice to the table. Together, we'll address patterns that keep you stuck, rebuild trust, take appropriate responsibility, and learn new ways to connect with your partner.
