Hi, I'm Stephanie and I focus on relationship and sex therapy, as well as providing support for more general mental health concerns. I also specialize in working with people living with seizures (PNES/functional seizures and epileptic seizures.)
Kindness, compassion and understanding are at the core of my work. I’ve learned that when we can slow down to understand our place of stuckness, then we can gain the insight we need to move towards hope and growth. I feel passionate about helping people to better connect to themselves, and others, and I’m known for bringing kindness, levity and care to this work that I love.

I draw from emotion-focused ( EFT), cognitive behavioural (CBT), internal family systems (IFS) and mindfulness-based therapies in my sessions.
As a therapist, my areas of focus include ADHD, trauma, autism, anxiety and LGBTQ+ issues. I help adults and teens manage worry and sadness, and to improve organization, focus and emotion regulation skills. My approach strikes a balance between providing practical tools and guiding you in processing emotions deeply. In this way, we practice what it is like to "feel our feelings" without becoming stuck in them in ways that are no longer helpful. I have experience helping neurodivergent people reflect on ways that masking their differences has impacted them, and helping them find ways to cope in a world that is at times overwhelming.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or relationship issues? You’ve probably tried to solve these challenges on your own—whether it’s through self-help methods, advice from friends, or simply trying to push through. But if those efforts haven’t worked, it might be time to approach things differently.

I use a variety of modalities backed by research such as ACT, attachment and trauma-informed work, CBT, DBT, EFT, Narrative, and somatic (body-based) interventions.
Many folks come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected from their emotions or behaviours. They find themselves feeling triggered in relationships, or shy away from sharing their authentic selves with others. Some have significant struggles with their focus and can't consistently complete tasks they know are well within their abilities. When we don't know how or why this happens, a sense of powerlessness and shame creeps into our lives. Trust me, I understand confronting these issues is challenging and vulnerable. Changing these patterns is very possible and may be some of the most important work you do in your life.
