New to Grow
Hello, I’m Stephanie! A Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate through various issues with compassion and clarity. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe to be real, ask hard questions, and explore what healing looks like for you. Whether you're feeling stuck, seeking greater emotional balance, or simply needing someone to walk alongside you, I'm here to help!
The first session is really a “getting to know you” conversation. We'll talk about what brought you into therapy, explore some of your background, and begin to identify the goals you'd like to work toward. It’s a chance for us to get a sense of what it’s like to work together and to see if we’re the right fit.
My practice is all about creating a relaxed, down-to-earth space where you don’t feel like you’re in a traditional therapy session. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease, like you’re in your own space. I understand that therapy can feel intimidating at first, so I work to keep things simple, approachable, and focused on what matters most to you.
I primarily work with adults ages 18 plus who are navigating through a variety of symptoms. Those symptoms may include disorders relating to anxiety, depression, emotional distress, grief, life transitions, stress management, OCD, ADHD, interpersonal and social issues, post traumatic stress or trauma, relationship issues, childhood trauma, employment stressors, and those who need a supportive space to chat about what's on your mind.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a highly effective, evidence-based approach. I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes that lead to lasting improvement in emotional well-being.
Compassion Focused
My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy works best when it's a partnership, so I work closely with clients to create a safe, supportive space where they feel heard, respected, and empowered.
