I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with nearly twenty years of experience across community mental health, forensic settings, and psychiatric emergency services. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, and chronic pain, including specialized experience with veterans, for which I received the 2023 Judge Paul F. Healey Award for Veterans Services. My approach is relational, warm and non-judgmental, integrating CBT, mindfulness-based methods, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to address the connection between mind, body, and overall well-being. I tailor treatment to each person's strengths, goals, and pace, and I believe real change happens when clients feel genuinely seen and safe enough to go deeper.
Do you ever get caught off guard by a feeling that seems to come out of the blue? In some cases, you can "power through it" and not let it impact you too much, but other times it seems to get the best of you. Perhaps a little voice shows up and says "You shouldn't be feeling that way" or some version of "toughen up". While these ideas seem good in theory, they just don't take into account these feelings that are present.
I help adults navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, addiction, and relationships through a compassionate, judgment-free approach. Using an eclectic, CBT-based framework, I support clients—especially creatives—on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. My own experiences with family trauma shape my understanding, allowing me to provide empathetic and personalized care.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals of all ages. I support clients navigating infertility, pregnancy-related concerns, grief and loss, trauma, as well as depression and anxiety.

I am committed to creating a supportive, compassionate space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered in their healing.

I bring to our work a blend of trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices, enriched by certifications in Mind-Body Bridging, Cognitively-Based Compassion Training, and Cultivating Emotional Balance.

Hi, my name is Stephanie!
Life is cookie-cutter and I don't believe therapy should be either. If you are struggling through any form of loss, weather loss of a loved one, identity, or pet loss you don’t have to do it alone. Anxiety, ranging moods, interpersonal issues, or anything you're feeling ready to explore I incorporate traditional and non-traditional approaches to meet your needs. Many find sitting on a couch very grounding and comforting while many others would rather take advantage of an open space to move around. Vulnerability takes courage, which is something we can discover and process together.
My background is in dance/movement therapy and animal-assisted therapy.

I work with clients who are struggling with grief, anxiety, depression or trauma. I also work with clients who may need assistance in processing everyday life stressors and want a supportive therapist whom they can confide in who will also challenge them and assist with problem-solving.
I also work with those facing reproductive challenges. As a compassionate and empathetic therapist, I understand the complex emotional and psychological impact that infertility and miscarriage can have. I can:
• Support you in maintaining hope, peace and positivity while navigating uncertainty and help you build resiliency as you work through obstacles.
• Help you to recognize and access your deeper intuition, so you are better equipped to honor your body, spirit and mind with the highest intention throughout your journey.
• Work with you on increasing clarity and purpose around your fertility journey.
• Utilize a holistic approach to address integrative lifestyle strategies that may be beneficial to your fertility path.
• Assist you in addressing relationship difficulties that can arise out of the stress of fertility challenges, help you develop strategies to increase intimacy with your partner and foster healthy communication.
For women and men who have experienced reproductive loss:
• The devastating and seemingly invisible pain of losing a pregnancy is unique in that it involves not only the loss of your baby, but also involves the loss of the future - and there is no accepted way to mark that loss. Sometimes it seems that friends and family members expect the person to move on quickly. Partners often grieve differently - and for men, the trauma of miscarriage is often overlooked. Also, some women may suffer guilt or shame associated with the loss that doesn't tend to occur with other types of grieving.
• There is no universal template for grief. Together, we will address your unique needs as you work through your grieving process.
