Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

I specialize in working with individuals and couples through life adjustments, job changes, and finding meaning in your day-to-day. I am happy to help you reach your goals in managing your mental health and your life!

My focus

I often work with clients dealing with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, or people coping with change. I also specifically work with families impacted by the child welfare triad (Birth Family, Foster/ Adoptive Parents/ Child). I am body-positive and LGBTQ+ friendly.

My approach

I am eclectic with my therapy approach and start with where you are at and what best suits you!
