I don’t believe therapy should feel cold or overly clinical. I also believe growth happens in the context of a genuine human relationship, and I’ll work to create a safe space where you can show up as your complete and imperfect self. You are the expert on you and your experience, and we’ll collaborate to help you carry heavy things in a way that feels more manageable. I also have experience treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, panic, and self-esteem concerns, and working with LGBTQIA+ teens.

Get to know Stephanie
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
Growing up, I had family members living with OCD, so I've seen the impact it can have on people's lives, their loved ones, and their ability to function. I've also seen how appropriate treatment and support can help people get back to living a full and complete life, even with OCD.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
Authenticity is such an important part of the therapeutic process. I'll be my authentic self, and I'll create a safe space for you to do the same. Together, we can create an environment where you can show up as your complete and imperfect self, and work toward building the life you want to live.
What I want to help you see in yourself
Life can involve heavy, difficult things, but we can learn to carry them in a way that makes them feel less heavy. I want to help you build the confidence to navigate life's challenges and believe in yourself along the way.
My message to you if you're considering therapy
Being hesitant is common. Many people are hesitant when they first start this process. The courage isn't in not being scared—it's in being willing to take that first small step in spite of the fear. You don't have to show up knowing exactly what to do, or to do things perfectly. We'll move through the process together, building your confidence and your ability to navigate difficult situations and take your life back.
