Do you feel like you don’t know how to ask for help, or feel like you have no one to turn to? Do you feel like there’s a part of your identity that you need to explore? Have you tried other therapists before and it felt too stuffy or like you didn’t ‘click’? Hi, I’m Steph and I see you, thank you for being here. I am here to remind you that it is okay to be feeling exactly how you feel, all of your feelings are valid. I bring my whole self to our sessions with a grounded, curious and kind demeanor and really focus on fostering a genuine therapeutic relationship with you. I believe that therapy should feel less clinical and formal.

To suffer is human – but to grow and heal is also human. In life, you might experience stress, anxiety, self-criticism, anger, difficult transitions or relationships, chronic pain/health issues, trauma, sleep disturbance, and other challenges. Sometimes, you might feel so stuck or overwhelmed that your usual coping tools are not quite enough. It can be helpful to seek support from a professional who empowers you to overcome life’s challenges by helping you tap into your inner resources and develop new ones. I am a therapist with several years of experience offering such support.

Therapy is an investment in yourself. It's a place to explore what is most important in your life, especially if you've been feeling "stuck" or unable to fully enjoy your life. Perhaps you've been experiencing feelings of anxiety or depression that have been limiting your ability to take action or make a change to improve your quality of life. Maybe you're in the midst of a difficult life transition, coping with grief from a personal loss, or experiencing workplace burnout, and finding it difficult to regain your emotional stability, energy, and well-being. In therapy, we talk about strategies and about the "big questions" of life.

Throughout life we necessarily craft intricate maps for moving through the systems that shape our world, expertly guiding ourselves through the ups and downs of ambiguity, trauma, unpredictability, and change. But what happens when our comprehensive structures stop serving us? And how do we move forward when they stop suppressing our pain? Feeling at odds with our trusted narratives and methods is an unfamiliar and exhausting experience, and my goal is to help you move towards the parts of yourself that feel dark and untouchable—a process that, over time, softens feelings of fear and shame.

I am intrigued by the way that humans are wired to connect with others. In my practice, I strive to build a meaningful connection between us in a gentle and caring way. Similarly, I aim to assist you in building authentic connections with important people in your life. I will help you to explore your strengths and resilience while assisting with the goals that brought you to therapy. I value diversity and the strength that it brings to the development of authentic relationships. I operate from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework that is LGBTQ2IA+ affirming.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you? I've been there, and I know that it can feel exhausting trying to figure it out alone. I offer my gentle curiosity and caring presence to support you in whatever struggles you are facing right now. I value the wisdom of my clients, and view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we can process emotions, explore deeply-rooted patterns, and experiment with new ways of being.

You may feel weighed down by self-doubt, the pressure to meet others’ expectations, or a constant drive to get things ‘right.’ Perhaps you often second-guess your emotions, overanalyze interactions, or struggle to express your needs without guilt. You might feel different from those around you—whether in how you process emotions, navigate relationships, or experience the world. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and supportive. You may be longing for clarity, confidence, and self-trust, but unsure how to get there.

Having worked in many different fields of Psychotherapy for over 10 years, I have an appreciation for holistic approaches to well-being. Events from our past can lead to us carrying patterns and anxieties that hold us back, affecting our perception and experience of what’s happening. My goal is to help you get unstuck by gaining new insights, developing new coping skills, and to ultimately build antifragility. Having had opportunities to teach Psychotherapy, and train new therapists, my appreciation for this work is renewed hourly. I have completed extensive trainings and blend modalities to deliver tailored care to my clients.
