(she/her)
Dr. Stephanie has over twenty-five years of counseling experience serving children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. She earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Howard University. She provides client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and affirming services in the quest to meet a client "where they are" and to support them on their journey to wellness and a life worth living. The aim is to empower each client to become the best version of self at home, at work, and in their relationships. Therapy with me will be a collaborative journey that fosters self-discovery, resilience, and positive change.
A safe space to get to know me and tell your story.
Dr. Stephanie is open to new ideas, adaptable to individual needs, and willing to explore innovative approaches to help clients overcome challenges and achieve their desired outcomes. I will create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and emotions as I listen attentively, show empathy, and validate your experiences. While I work with a range of clients with various backgrounds, I am especially attuned to the challenges, needs, and experiences of Black women and girls. I’m passionate about inclusion, equity, and embracing difference for the avoidance of othering, marginalization, and misunderstanding.

Thirteen years ago, my first therapy experience was life-changing and set a high standard. After searching five months for the right fit in this season of my life, I found Dr. Stephanie. From our first session, I knew she was the right therapist. She is encouraging, solution-focused, and engaging, and creates a space where I can be vulnerable and authentically myself without judgment. I feel supported, understood, and encouraged as I move forward in this process with her.
