Stacey is an excellent therapist. Not only is she empathic but she has a comes across very genuine. She also has a lot of experience with grief and it has been such a relief to have a therapist that truly understands the processes, emotions, thoughts, etc., that come with grief.

Stacey is an absolutely phenomenal therapist. She truly listens to what you have to say and is invested/committed to your growth. In such a short amount of time she helped me understand what I was feeling and how to navigate those feelings. She listens to you as a therapist but also a friend. I will always appreciate and respect the work she does.
