LPC, 15 years of experience
I am an expert in mental health who helps clients reduce depression, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, Hypomania symptoms; while making major life transitions in the domains of career and employment, important relationships, and grief/loss. Developing an identity and self that believes in change towards wellness is where we begin. I challenge clients, I ask questions, I direct and I redirect. I hold a few spaces on my calendar for women who want to understand the impact of chaotic childhoods and childhood trauma where the threat of violence was too often present. I support clients in getting comfortable with being assessed for medications to treat the above conditions, when I recognize medication as the best possible course along side regular psychotherapy. I work best with clients who are highly motivated and take responsibility for how they make major life transitions.
Your first session includes an intake that is comprised of assessing for symptoms and learning about who you best function as well as struggle in different domains of life. You can heal and change can happen. Life can be so different in 3 months, let alone a year's time. You aren't alone and don't have to be! I look forward to walking beside you on your wellness journey.
My strengths are deep listening, clinical assessment, and interventions that help create change in the lives of clients.
We will work from a client centered approach to help you clarify your needs, be a safe place to voice your feelings and embolden your skills to live the life you want. Everyone is unique and still we are all so similar in needing inner peace, self confidence, and motivation to learn, grow and change.

Stephanie has been instrumental is assisting me with trauma I have experienced. She listens to you with deep interest, assists with very helpful feedback and solutions, and is very caring. I’m so glad I found her and started working with her. She is amazing and I can’t imagine doing this work without her.
