Welcome—I'm Stephanie, a social worker providing therapy under the supervision of a licensed clinical provider. I’m committed to supporting individuals as they work toward emotional wellness and meaningful life change. My goal is to offer a warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and understood. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, identity concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or wanting to better understand yourself, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe every person has innate resilience and the ability to grow. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build practical skills, and develop insights that support well-being. By integrating these modalities, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals.
My practice is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming. I welcome folks from all backgrounds and lived experiences. If you're ready to begin or simply curious about what therapy could look like—I’m here to walk alongside you. Reaching out is a powerful step, and I look forward to supporting you on your path toward healing and growth.
