Life is filled with many difficulties and unexpected events, and seeking therapy is a great start to help you navigate these challenges. I provide a safe, supportive, and empathetic therapeutic environment for my clients, helping them explore and process the struggles they encounter in life. Sometimes these struggles are accompanied by overwhelming thoughts and emotions, and I’m here to help my clients understand how they are impacted and what is best for them to move forward.

I strive to create safe space where clients can feel comfortable examining their strengths and challenges. I see myself as a guide on this journey of self-discovery, and I believe it's important to look together at the multiple contexts that affect us as individuals, from our family backgrounds to the meanings that we attach to our experiences in order to find our authenticity. I use an individualized approach grounded in family systems to guide clients on their journeys of self-exploration, weaving mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques into sessions.

My name is Stephanie and I am passionate about helping others heal by creating a safe and empathetic space for individuals seeking support on their journey towards mental and emotional well-being.

This allows for an exploration of thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of criticism, fostering a sense of trust and collaboration in the therapeutic process. My goal is to empower individuals to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and cultivate a deeper sense of self awareness.

My successful client is interested in bettering themselves, is open to suggestions and is willing to work hard to improve their life. I would enjoy assisting you in bringing joy, adventure and romance back to your relationship. Are you stuck in a job where you feel unfulfilled?
