Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

I am a very empathic and supportive person and can work well with clients because they know I am real, and I will work with them to find a technique that works best for them to achieve their interpersonal goals. I know that people have inner thoughts that they think others will not understand. We will together make sense of them.

My focus

You have to complete an assessment to decide the appropriate techniques to use for each person.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Brain Spotting, and Psychodynamic techniques.

My communication style

Very soothing and provides effective listening techniques to help the client feel understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I and my own family of origin went through personal struggles, which led to my curiosity and approaches in helping others.

My goals for you

Assess what the client feels are the goals they would like to achieve, and then re-evaluate as the therapy proceeds.

Our first session

A full psychological assessment. An understanding of the client's goals and seeing if a client feels like they can connect with me and work together to achieve a more fulfilling life for themselves.
