Hello! I’m Stephanie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I'm here to support you through life’s challenges and help you find greater well-being. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? Whether you're dealing with past trauma, stress, or relationship issues, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can work together to address your unique needs. I use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help you reframe negative thoughts, regulate your emotions, and develop practical strategies for lasting change.
My goal is to support and challenge you as we work towards your personal growth and healing. For over 17 years I've worked in different settings such as substance abuse treatment centers, nonprofit facilities, and private practice. I have worked with different populations such as adults, teens, educators, LGBTQ+, First Responders, and Law Enforcement.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life, let’s connect. Reach out today to start your journey towards a brighter, healthier future.
