I am a New York–based psychotherapist and licensed master social worker supporting children, adolescents, and adults across outpatient mental health, inpatient medical and psychiatric, primary care, and community settings. I use evidence-based approaches to address anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Through the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities Fellowship and New York University’s Multidisciplinary Addiction Training Program, I received training in family-centered care, addiction treatment, harm reduction, and culturally responsive practice.

We can often be our own worst critics, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of “what if” scenarios that pop into our heads. Whether it shows up in our romantic relationships, academics, family dynamics, or in the workplace, anxiety can feel like an overprotective force in our heads that means well, but often latches onto perfectionism, urgency and control. For the past 8 years, it has been my privilege to work directly with clients from a variety of backgrounds to treat anxiety, depression, trauma and general life stress.

Hello! Are you feeling exhausted from masking, caught in cycles of perfectionism, or people-pleasing that leaves you disconnected from yourself? Do you wish you had a place to explore identity, gender, sexuality, sex, or kink without judgment or the need to explain? Maybe you are navigating grief or loss, or struggling to reconnect with your body and mind after sexual or relational trauma, unsure how to feel safe in yourself again. As someone who is a survivor, has moved through profound grief, and grew up queer and neurodivergent in a small conservative town, I understand how vital affirming support is.

I prefer to use a holistic approach and look to partner with you in the way in which you'd like treatment to proceed. I have been successful working with clients experiencing issues surrounding identity, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ exploration and affirmation, among many others. You can expect to sit with someone who cares about you and what you are currently going through. With a warm and humorous approach we can reach together a space in which you feel comfortable exploring your needs.

Do you constantly feel a sense of dread? Do you spend hours wondering “what if I’m a bad person?” or maybe, you go over scenarios and events in your head trying to remember if you did something bad or inappropriate? Sometimes our brains can feel like our worse enemies, it can convince us that people hate us or that maybe we don’t really love our partner or in some cases, like we could harm someone even if the mere thought makes us panic. It can make you believe that you’re not thin enough, muscular enough, smart enough, or that your stomach is too big and everything will go wrong if you don’t lose weight.

Do you struggle to know where you fit? Have you struggled to make sense of your experiences? Or perhaps you've felt a bit alien throughout your life; like it's difficult to connect to others, that others don't understand you or see you how you see yourself. I've been there too. And so have many of my clients. I know what it's like to be in a place where you're searching for answers and a sense of understanding because things just aren't really working for some reason. I'm here to tell you that you aren't alone in that experience. And there are roadmaps to help you move forward.

I am grounded in the belief that we have the intrinsic capacity to heal. I am committed to supporting the development of compassion, wakefulness, and ease, in response to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and unresolved trauma. As a trained yoga teacher and practicing Zen Buddhist, I view physical/spiritual health, mindfulness practice, and engagement with philosophical inquiry to be the pillars for emotional well-being. With a robust background as a playwright, I draw on my writing practice and the innate creativity of my clients as guides along the healing journey.

I have a decade of experience working with adults and families with interpersonal and life transition challenges, those related to identity, personal growth and relationship transitions. I support clients in addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. Using an empathic approach, I help clients develop insight and solutions toward emotional wellness.
I approach therapy with a sociopolitical lens, recognizing that distress is often a response to oppressive systems, not personal failure. I'm critical of bureaucratic influences on mental health care, and instead offer a relational, client driven space rooted in liberation.

Our mental health does not exist in a vacuum, it exists within a system. I see the source of many mental health issues as being rooted in the oppression and unhealthy dynamics inherent in our society. The issues we each struggle with are responses to these conditions, rather than an individual ailment that exists only within us. My approach to therapy supports clients in processing the experiences of living within a system that's hyper-focused on success. My expertise is working with addiction from a harm reduction approach and with people undergoing psychedelic therapy, but I also work with clients who have other treatment goals.

I've been in therapy for many years, so I appreciate what it means for you to be here. If you are looking for a non-judgmental space to explore barriers which prevent you from achieving an authentic version of happiness, calmness, and emotional safety, I’d love to work with you. Life can feel overwhelming, heavy, and unpredictable, which creates a cycle of worry and an inability to change patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Therapy is the space to make those shifts, at a pace that is comfortable for you. True change requires honesty, curiosity, accountability, and compassion for yourself, which are all integral to my approach.

If you’re a young adult, you may be navigating complex life transitions, career uncertainty, intimate relationships, identity questions, trauma triggers, and more. These difficulties can be confusing and even overwhelming to navigate. Many of my clients want to improve how they communicate with others and manage conflict. They want to feel more connected to themselves and their loved ones. They also seek to break through stuckness and feel more grounded within their identities. At the same time, they value having a dedicated space to process their needs, feelings, and life experiences.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I'm in Brooklyn, NY.

Childhood and adolescence are supposed to be filled with joy, laughter, and fun; they are also filled with change, learning to navigate relationships and responsibilities, and the beginnings of figuring out who we are and where we fit in the systems of our lives. Have you (or other adults) noticed your child having bigger reactions, being less playful, refusing certain activities like school or sports, or having different interests/skills than their peers? Are you having trouble getting through to them? Are you interested in learning new ways of helping them get back to thriving?
If so, it might be time to try child-centered therapy

I believe that the therapeutic process, although painful at times, is very rewarding and that individuals can heal and have fulfilling lives from engaging in treatment. My ideal client is a person who is willing to consistently attend therapy and trust in the process. I understand that "resistance" is a necessary part of treatment and believe that trust comes when the client and therapist continue to interact with each other. Therapy can be an unique and rewarding experience; please join me on the road to discovering your authentic self.

What I love most about this work is watching people reconnect with themselves—gaining insight, building emotional resilience, and moving toward more fulfilling lives. Whether it's setting boundaries, grieving something long buried, or beginning to believe in their own worth again, I find deep meaning in those moments. Working with the LGBTQ+ community is one of the most meaningful parts of my practice. I strive to create a space that is not just affirming, but actively supportive—where gender, sexuality, and identity are explored with safety, respect, and care.
