Hi there, I'm Stephanie!

Welcome! Since becoming an independently licensed provider in 2013 and founding my practice in 2015, I have been deeply dedicated to supporting children, adults, couples, and families. Truly loving what I do, I lead with a compassionate, person-centered approach to ensure you feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout your healing journey.

My focus

If you are a woman aged 18-65 navigating stress, anxiety, mild depression, or a major life transition, you are in the right place. I am here to support you with tailored, collaborative care that helps you manage overwhelming emotions, regain your balance, and confidently step into the next chapter of your life.

My approach

I provide compassionate, empathetic, and collaborative care tailored to your unique journey. Using an eclectic approach, I draw from several different modalities to ensure our work together is deeply personalized, effective, and supportive of your individual goals.
