(she/her)
Hi, I'm a regular gal, with adult kids & have been working in this field since 1990. I will never say I have 'seen it all', as I haven't. I have a pretty good sense of humor, along with a quiet side. Therapy is a place to look inward, to figure it out. I will walk along side of you as needed to do this.
The first session is an intake assessment where I will review the paperwork & self screens you complete prior to this appointment. It is a bit formal in nature, as a clinical path will be developed with you. This 'path' is the treatment goal, which is what we will work towards in our time together.
Greatest strength is probably the fact I can talk to anyone about just about anything.
After having worked with teenagers and those in the legal system, I have found I prefer seeing adults. Adults who are interested in figuring out what is going on & finding solutions to what is troubling to them.

Oh, how I enjoy helping clients understand their thinking and behaviors along with feelings are all a part of who they are and why they do what they do & why change is so very difficult.

Working with Stephanie feels like stepping into a space where the current finally slows down enough for you to breathe. She is warm without being performative, honest without being harsh, and deeply attuned in a way that makes you feel safe to unravel and rebuild. Her kindness is steady, her insight is grounding, and her presence feels like a place where healing can actually take root. She doesn’t just listen she meets you where you are and walks with you as you move forward.

This was my first therapy appointment, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start. She was authentic, warm, kind‑hearted, and completely non‑judgmental. I felt safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. It’s rare to meet someone who can create that kind of comfort right away, but she did. I’m grateful to have found her.
