Stephanie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology, is a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and a Certified Mindfulness-informed Clinician with many years of experience delivering evidence based psychotherapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strength based approaches, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions.

I am committed to providing help in improving your life within a caring, professional atmosphere. With 35 years of clinical experience and 30 in neuropsychology, I am able through neuropsychological and psychological testing, to provide answers regarding cognitive, academic, or psychological matters that may have affected you or your loved one for years. I routinely receive referrals from neurologists, pediatricians, primary care doctors, teachers, and other mental health professionals to shed some light on a complex case.

Life is beautiful--but it's not always easy! Whether you're depressed, stressed, heartbroken or in crisis, I can help. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I utilize strengths-based approaches to combat low self-esteem, anxiety and phobias including hypochondria (fear of being fatally ill). I'm also a PhD-trained Clinical Sexologist and Transgender Care Therapist (see details below) and provide EMDR for trauma. And as a professional journalist, I know the right questions to ask to get to the heart of a problem. I provide clients with a safe, judgment-free space in which to work through issues and consider it a privilege to do so.
