I often employ psychodynamic and expressive therapy principles with the understanding that the mode of therapy, regardless of what that is, must empower clients to achieve their goals through effective self-understanding, healing, change, and growth.
Getting unstuck, healng for you and your relationships, helping you find ways to get yourself and your life back, these are just part of my work with a diverse range of patients - adults, teens, couples - facing life's challenging circumstances, including depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis and substance dependency, grief and loss, spiritual issues, relational struggles, parent/child issues, sexual difficulties, abuse, trauma, divorce, marital and premarital counseling, help with managing spectrum and educational difficulties, and aging - These are many of the issues I work with in my practice.

I work from a psychodynamic and interactive perspective to assist individuals, couples, and families to become more conscious of how their past experiences have shaped current relationships.
I believe in an integrative approach as no one approach works universally. My training is rooted in depth psychology (making the unconscious conscious); attachment theory (exploring how early emotional bonds affect emotional development and relationships throughout life); and object relations (looking at how we developed in relation to others).

“Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.”- Brené Brown We are often met with experiences in life that shape us and create patterns of responding to our environments in both healthy and unhealthy ways. We may feel alone in moments of darkness, confusion or in the presence of the unknown; you are not alone! We will work to trust the process of sitting with the uncomfortable, embracing uniqueness and vulnerabilities and identifying thoughts and feelings that prevent us from seeing our best selves.

Hi! I’m Stephanie and I’ve been in practice as a psychotherapist for over 10 years. I believe the relational connection offered in therapy is a big part of the healing process, as we all have a core need to feel truly seen and heard. I’m committed to providing an attentive, consistent, and intentional approach that enables emotional vulnerability for my clients. I believe the only way to heal our pain is to face it, and it’s easier to do this in an empathetic space. I specialize in addressing a variety of concerns including disordered eating, body dysmorphia, codependency/relationship issues, and anxiety and obsessive disorders.

Drawing from psychodynamic and attachment-based practices, I help clients manage anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate life transitions with clarity, insight, and practical coping tools.
When life is “life-ing” and everything feels off—your mood, your relationships, your sense of self—it can be hard to know what to do next. Maybe what used to help isn’t working anymore, and deep down, you know something’s got to change. Big transitions (breakups, job changes, loss, or just growing into a new season of life) can leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. If you're trying to figure things out, get some clarity, or just feel more like you again, I’m here for that.

I use a psychodynamic framework, and I have an eclectic therapeutic approach to meet you where you're at.
You’ve been in therapy before—maybe more than once—and you’ve gained real insight. You understand yourself better. And yet, here you are again, feeling stuck in the same patterns, the same relationship dynamics, the same quiet ache of disconnection. You’re not broken. You’re just ready for something deeper.
The clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware people who are ready for something to shift—not just in how they think about themselves, but in how they feel. They’re drawn to deeper emotional exploration, willing to sit with what’s underneath —not with self-judgment, but with curiosity.

I'm an experienced clinical supervisor and spend most of my professional time training other therapists, but keep a small caseload. This means both that I'm flexible in my therapy approach depending on your needs, and can devote more attention to each of my clients. Therapy is tough work that requires a strong partnership and for that, we both need to do our best to relate straightforwardly with one another. My primary concern in therapy is to develop an honest relationship driven by a shared desire to understand your life, and how you came to be this version of yourself, identifying the changes you'd like to seek along the way.
