As your therapist my goal is to meet you where you’re at and help you move toward where you want to be. Maybe you aren’t sure where that is yet. My overarching goal is to collaborate and work in partnership with you to help you have a healthier life. Whether there are tangles you’re wanting to explore, symptoms you’d like to address, traumas you’re wanting to unpack, I am eager to hear your story, no matter how complex. Or maybe you’re just feeling like you need someone to talk to. Right now I mostly have mornings available.

My purpose is to create a consistent, trauma-informed setting where we connect, share, and grow. My therapeutic concentrations include anxiety & depression, ADHD, the autism spectrum, educational challenges, aging, and stress related to government & policy. I am a believer in using creative methods such as drawing, painting, and music to get our minds moving. I am especially a believer in the power of fresh air and am likely to ask if you would be interested in meeting in the park on a nice day. I love riding my bicycle and do sewing in my free time.

As a therapist and social worker I work with people to better understand their place in the world around them and to develop a healthy relationship with themselves. I approach everyone as a whole person made up of all the experiences and identities they bring to the table. At the core of my practice is working with you to understand yourself and your relationship with the world better so you can write the story of your own life instead of having other people and your emotions write it for you. I work with kids 12 and above and with adults at any stage of their life.

Hi, I’m Steph (she/her). My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that we all have the inner wisdom to heal, change, and grow through life’s challenges, and sometimes that requires help. I am passionate about working with clients to acknowledge the circumstances that lead them to seek care, collaborating to build new and stronger relationships with themselves, and exploring how those relationships hold the power to achieve their dreams and goals.

I am trained in Marriage and Family Therapy. My work is primarily with couples and the dance they create that is unique to them. Each couple is unique so I try to individualize the ongoing treatment. Families come in to clear up communication and better understand how each person fits into the family dance and how all the moving parts have to have a pattern that defines this family. Each family creates its own ballet!

My clients often seek relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance misuse, grief, or struggles adapting to major life changes. The therapeutic space we create together becomes a safe—if not always comfortable—place to explore what's worked before, what you'd like to change, and what that change can look like or mean for you. Through the Counseling and Trauma Therapy Associates agency, I am honored to work with you, and learn about your personal journey and goals. I have experience with a wide range of clients including military veterans and first responders, creative professionals, students, and the LGBTQ+ community.

...thank you and welcome. One focus from 1st session is to demystify and simplify that the process of change is not painful, only our resistance to it is. The fact that you're reading this implies that you are already open to and considering change. C-19 and current status of our culture/globe has escalated stress, anxiety, depression, vicarious trauma, isolation, OC behaviors, substance use and cyber-addiction, etc. My approach is interpersonal, helping clients learn new living skills and promote the experience of a shift in their perception to discover that in actuality, we don't see life as IT is...we see life as WE are.

I have worked with individuals and families across the lifespan, from preschool aged to end of life, over the past twenty years. I currently work with adults, using a holistic, strengths-based approach. Some modalities I weave into my work are Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices.
