Hello, I’m Stephanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience helping individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from various populations across the country, which has enriched my approach to therapy. I earned my degree at Temple University, in Philadelphia, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical social work and learned evidence-based approaches. I also incorporate holistic practices, Eastern philosophy, and experiential learning to support individuals through life’s challenges.
My passion is to work with those who may be experiencing anxiety, depression or trauma. I also have experience with domestic violence, and women's health issues. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—empowering individuals to cultivate resilience, make positive changes, and lead fulfilling lives.
Please feel free to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation to discuss if I am a good therapeutic match for you.
