Hi! I'm Stefanie and I'm so glad you're here! If you're feeling ready to explore your inner world and make meaningful changes in your life, you're in the right place. You might be dealing with life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or a sense of being stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you're looking for clarity, deeper understanding, and practical tools to help you move through life with more confidence. Above all, you want to feel more connected - to yourself, your values, and your goals - and to create a life that feels authentic and truly fulfilling.
I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life transitions, manage depression and anxiety, and build compassion. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches, I provide a safe and encouraging space to explore challenges, develop practical skills, and create meaningful changes at your pace.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don't have to face those feelings alone. Together, we can explore your strengths, overcome obstacles, and move towards a life that feels balanced and empowering. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

Many people approach therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Together, we make sense of your experiences and notice the patterns that shape how you move through the world. As things begin to shift, many people find more ease, a growing sense of self-trust, and an increased capacity for deeper, more meaningful connections with themselves and others.

I use a trauma-informed, integrative approach drawing from IFS (parts work), somatic therapy, EMDR, attachment, CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy. Our work helps you understand and heal protective patterns, process difficult experiences, and build practical coping skills. Sessions are collaborative, paced to your needs, and grounded in safety and self-compassion.
