New to Grow
Hi! 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!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
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. As a licensed therapist, my role is to provide counseling and therapeutic support for a range of issues. However, there are certain conditions and disorders that may fall outside the scope of my practice, and in these cases, I may refer you to a specialist or other healthcare provider with the appropriate expertise.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
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.
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.
