Welcome. I'm Stephanie, and I'm here to support you. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you are carrying the weight of past trauma or navigating the difficult realities of co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. As a trauma-focused therapist, I want you to know that there is hope, and healing is absolutely possible. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role as a person-centered therapist is to empower you, cheer you on, and provide the specialized tools you need to thrive. I work with teenagers and adults using a highly compassionate, person-centered approach. People often describe me as bubbly and warm, and I bring that authentic, uplifting energy into the counseling room every day. I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy; instead, I prioritize building a trusting, dynamic relationship with you. Together, we will create a safe environment where you can safely process your experiences, learn new ways to cope, and rediscover your joy. You are worthy of living a beautiful, fulfilling life, and I am here to help you build it.
