Hi, I'm Stephanie. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in NY, NJ, CT, GA, and FL, and an adjunct professor at the Emory School of Medicine. I strive to provide a warm and safe space where patients can feel comfortable sharing without fear of judgment. My goal is to help my patients reflect on their values so that they can work towards what it means to be their "best self." I will always focus on treating the symptoms and not the "disorder," in an effort to tailor my approach to the individual. I am passionate about fighting stigma associated with mental illness and engage in advocacy and research outside of treating patients.

We make it easier than ever to access counseling. If you do not find the right counselor, it is ok to switch! Trust me, I started our group because I was annoyed that I had to speak to so many counselors before finding the right one for me.

Hello and welcome to my practice. Asking for help is not easy, so I am so glad you are here! Therapists are not a one size fits all and finding the right fit for you, your family, and/or your child is so important for therapy to be successful. My approach with clients is always collaborative, genuine and warm, and I use both empathy and humor. I am client-centered, strengths based, and solutions focused. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to correspond with the needs of each individual client, meeting them where they are at.

The world has profoundly changed for most of us in the last years. Depression, anxiety, adjustment and relationship troubles...Are you locked in a destructive cycle that you can't break alone? Has some traumatic event in your life continued to haunt you even after months or years? Emotional problems often develop if we feel that we have lost control over some critical area of our lives. Overwhelming feelings can seem to come from nowhere, isolating us or holding us back. The right therapist can help you to feel less alone, find relief and get your life on track. Damaged relationships can be repaired, becoming deeper and healthier.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming and scary, but together, we can work on figuring out where you want to go and remove the roadblocks in the way. I strive to help you find empowerment in your story by understanding how where you've been has led to where you are now. I use the relationship between my client and myself as a laboratory for exploration and development of the self.

Perhaps you are having difficulties in your primary relationships, perhaps there are stressors at work, perhaps you face a great choice and several obstacles are hindering your clarity and peace. I have been honored to witness individuals and couples overcome many barriers that initially seemed insurmountable. Based on my experience and the lived experience of those I work with I believe that a full, happy, and peaceful life is within reach for everyone who seeks it.

I will welcome you into a safe and non-judgmental place where you can explore what it could be like to find the freedom to live your life with self-compassion while taking full responsibility. I believe therapy can help you find a sense of peace in your life because you are able to identify your own power, your own wisdom and really focus on what brings your life joy. If your family is experiencing difficulties then family therapy is a necessary first step toward finding a more harmonious family life.

Everyone has a story incredibly personal to them; a story that is full of many chapters. These chapters hold celebrations, accomplishments, losses, successes, pain, joy, sorrow, hardships, victories, and desires. We often find ourselves stuck in a chapter of our lives requiring support. Our journeys are unique to ourselves yet they are fundamentally connected to one another.
