I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples who are going through transitions, experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and/or who are troubled by substance abuse. I also see many people who have chronic syndromes such as autoimmune disorders. I have a collaborative approach and a conversational style, and provide a safe and confidential place where people can share their story. I see psychotherapy as an opportunity to develop greater self awareness and skills to improve relationships, and to enhance coping and decision making skills so that they are in keeping with the client's values and goals.

(Not accepting new clients.) People come to me because they are struggling and feel stuck. I specialize in working with adults and children/families who are challenged by anxiety, ADHD, or "Asperger's" but have experience with many different issues. My approach involves providing information about how the brain works, how to use it as your ally instead of an enemy, and how to find strength in the very things that challenge you. (ex: There are so many wonderful things about having ADHD!) I do this in the context of interpersonal relationships where we talk about things like identity and communication/conflict resolution skills.

Children and teenagers are more overwhelmed today than ever. The daily challenges they face can be highly stressful and can lead to significant impairments in self-esteem, family relationships, school functioning, friendships, and other important areas of life. My ultimate goals as a therapist are to help young people find good life balance and develop a sense of peace within themselves. I enjoy providing a space where individuals and families can safely work through difficult situations, while learning to feel good about themselves, acquire problem-solving skills, maximize their natural strengths, and utilize the supports they have in their lives.

When you look back at your childhood, you may have questions. You might wonder how your childhood experiences and how you felt growing up impacts you today. Feelings of sadness, depression, anger, anxiety or low self -esteem may be what brought you to my page, but there is a need to understand more about your life and why you may feel this way. What could be different? COVID has probably exacerbated these feelings. Hi, I'm Stephanie and I specialize in working with individuals and other therapists, who wish to explore how our past impacts our present as a way to gain insight into growth.

We provide compassionate counseling care which is rooted in research proven methods as well as a Christian world view. In therapy we help you design a plan which will help you heal from past hurts, build better relationships, set boundaries, and celebrate your gifts and talents. We check in regularly to make sure you feel heard and are getting what you need from counseling.

Do you feel like the same conflict keeps coming up over and over again? It feels like each time you communicate, it just goes nowhere. Neither of you feel understood and it definitely does not feel like the issue is resolved. You start to question everything and fear conflict will never be resolved. You both feel stuck and are not sure how to get out of this cycle that just repeats itself over and over.

Sometimes our child has needs that can effect the entire family system. I focus on providing the child direct care, and provide parents the support to keep going, to keep working toward the potential you know your child has. Specifically, if your child is having ongoing school problems, is showing oppositional behavior, or has difficulty maintaining friendships. Additionally, if your child has been diagnosed, or your questioning whether your child has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD, AD/HD) and needs "coaching" to cope with this problem, or he/she is showing signs of anxiety or depression, or abusing alcohol or drugs.

A graduate of Temple University, I have been a licensed psychologist since 1996. I work with a wide variety of clients and presenting problems including anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss. I have specific expertise in the areas of early trauma, childhood and adolescent issues, parenting and chronic stress. Throughout my experience I have witnessed remarkable healing and a return to a sense of wholeness and aliveness that comes with support through honest and gentle exploration, reflection and self-awareness. The results often manifest in improved relationships, judgment and clarity.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or just not feeling good enough. Maybe you or your child have felt stuck for a long time or maybe you find yourself navigating a big life transition. Regardless of where you find yourself or your child, we all need a safe place to feel seen and heard. Only when we feel safe, can growth occur.

Psychotherapy helps individuals, couples, and families develop skills to manage stress effectively and work through challenging life circumstances. I utilize an individualized approach based on each person's needs, abilities, and interests using talk therapy and specific interventions that decrease nervous system dysregulation and anxiety. I focus on improving relationships by enhancing communication, conflict resolution skills, and emotional expression. Therapy also includes an exploration of patterns of behavior that lead to feeling "stuck", and increasing meaningful or purposeful behaviors that are more fulfilling.

If you have had an experience that seems traumatic to you despite what others may think or say, or any extremely stressful life challenge recently or in the past, I specialize in helping with these issues. If there is something you have never shared with anyone before or are frightened by the prospect of disclosing what you've carried for a long time, I am here to listen. The impact of distressing experiences may result in extreme anxiety or fear, episodes of depression, repeated difficulties in personal or family relationships or even physical health issues.

Starting therapy and talking about your problems can be overwhelming, but I will try to help you feel as comfortable as possible. In addition to working with various anxiety disorders, depression, and relationship problems, I am particularly interested in working with women experiencing the unique challenges associated with infertility. Infertility can be an exhausting and isolating process that challenges you physically and emotionally and I am here to provide you with the support and understanding to help you cope. I also treat other women’s health issues, medical concerns, and difficulties related to motherhood.

Are you having struggles in your relationship? Are you worried about your son or daughter? Do you feel like the stresses of life are weighing you or your family down? When people are overwhelmed and feeling like nothing is going right, hopelessness can sneak in. This hopelessness can lead to many uncomfortable things including loss of sleep and appetite, physical pain, anger, conflict in relationships, troubles at school or work, attendance concerns, anxiety and so much more. Are you struggling with any of these things? Are you looking for someone to talk with?

Worried about your child? Unsure about how your upbringing affects your parenting? Feeling overwhelmed? Parenting and being in a family is not easy! That is why I am here to help. I feel so honored to support people who are experiencing stress from big life transitions. I am passionate about helping families of all kinds thrive! I do this by offering warm, judgement-free, and empathetic counseling support.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by difficult challenges and transitions in your life? Are you angry, depressed, stuck in unhealthy relationships or self-defeating behaviors? Do you long to make the changes necessary to feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment? Whether you've been diagnosed with adult ADD/ADHD or PTSD, or you are dealing with other kinds of traumatic experience, you can learn to overcome the negative emotions and thoughts that keep you from a more satisfying, purposeful life. You may be surprised at the progress you make through your own insights and observations!

Are you frustrated with the direction of your life, feeling lonely, anxious or depressed? I'd like to help. We will first bring relief from what is going on now (depression, anxiety, etc.) and then we will move on to deeper issues. We will work together directly, actively, and with care, paying attention to mutually agreed upon goals. Together we work emphasizing strengths as well as taking a look at issues that need to be changed.
