Hi there, I'm Stephanie!
A native New Yorker who grew up mostly in the San Fernando Valley, I graduated from New York University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Drama in 2001, and earned my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Southern California in 2009.
My focus
My ideal client is someone who is generally high-functioning but feels stuck or challenged in 1 or 2 key areas. They’re motivated to change and tend to be thoughtful and curious about themselves. You don’t need to have therapy experience; in fact, I often love working with people who are brand new to the process and discovering what it can offer!
My approach
I am proud to report I have recently been certified as a Foundational Level 1 Solution-Focused Brief Therapy practitioner! I also use techniques from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Gestalt, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). At times, Buddhist philosophy has also guided my work.
