“Anyone can tell you what to do, but the true ability to grow comes from understanding who you are.”
In 15 years of clinical practice, I've realized that within our uniqueness, we have one thing in common: We are all constantly writing our life stories. Many of us are passive biographers, believing that our book is already written, and that the ending is set in stone. Here's the secret: Our lives are not linear, and we have the power to edit our narrative at any--and every--moment. While we cannot change our past, we can learn to change our perspective of it. Once we unlock our unconscious defenses, we gain insight about who we've become and unleash the potential to transform into who we authentically want to be.
When entering any new relationship, it is perfectly healthy--and encouraged-- to take the time you need to test it out and make sure it feels right. I promise to meet you where you are, and provide you with the tools to explore yourself deeper and make transformations at your own pace. I will support you to find the strength and motivation that will allow you to be more open and committed to making the changes you desire. In our time together, we will explore the full range of your emotions, including feelings that you may not be aware of--yet! Bringing these unconscious elements into your present experience offers you a series of a-ha moments that lay the foundation for greater self-awareness and enable you to live your best life.
If you're ready to dig deep, it is my honor to join you on your journey. Let's remove the barriers that are blocking you from realizing your wants, needs, and actualizing your full potential!

Stacey is an incredibly considerate, thoughtful and smart person to work with. Not only does she make me feel seen & heard, she also knows how to challenge me and make me think differently about myself or a situation. Our work together has helped me not only in personal relationships with my partner and family members, but at work too. I love working with her and would recommend her to everyone I know if I could!

Stacey has been my therapist for nearly three years and I’m so grateful for her! I’ve grown in ways I’ve never thought were possible for me, and she has been so supportive. I always feel heard, and I always learn something new about myself that helps me feel like I’m improving. She is an amazing therapist!!!

Stacey is a true gift in my life, word's can't thank her enough for all she's done for me. Stacey offers a warm, safe and non-judging space where I can express myself freely and honestly. Stacey acknowledges me and meets me where I'm at with understanding and hope for healing . She's a true treasure for anyone fortunate enough to work with her.

I appreciate that she takes time to dig into your mind and know what you are really trying to say or not saying. With her guidance, I was able to really know who I am and learn how to better face life with challenges. I am continually given tools to unlearn things that hinder my growth as an individual. I have also gained tools to better myself and my relationship with others. She's a breath of fresh air! I've switched therapists in the past because it wasnt working and I am really glad to have found her. I am looking forward to continue working with her. Her patience and frankness is very refreshing and helpful and is what I really need in this platform.

Written on May 10, 2023 after therapy with Stacey for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and anger management
I think that after roughly two years in therapy, I may genuinely have learned and understood a thing (possibly two) about myself. So that's what it feels like...
Stacey's amazing, has been from day one. Kind, insightful, supportive, all the things. If you're reading this, just know that without a doubt she is wayyy better than whoever fate threw you in with on your first go or two. You really would have clicked. But her current clients aren't going anywhere, mwahahaha!

Stacey is absolutely amazing and supportive therapist. You will leave your session not only feeling empowered, but also with skills to utilize in times of distress. She has shifted my mindset and truly changed my life for the better. I feel like a completely different person in the best way possible. This is her calling and it shows. I would highly recommend if you are ready to do the work, she will be by your side through it all.

Stacey is exactly what you want/need in a therapist. She takes what you say and interprets it in a way that really gets you thinking and figuring out what you are REALLY saying. She’s honest with you, which can be hard for anyone to hear, but necessary for growth. I appreciate her so much.

She’s really changed my life! I’ve done in person therapy and online therapy for years before but she has given me a new perspective and really understands my goals.

Stacey is a caring, intuitive, and reflective practitioner. She is ever present and proactive and has a deep understanding of my problems and perspectives. I’ve made more progress in 4 months with Stacey than the two years of therapy with a different therapist. Love her!!!

Stacey is a wonderfully warm person to talk to with a good sense of humor and approach to having a conversation. She's great at breaking down ideas or scenarios with you in a relevant and relatable way that's been very helpful for me. I would strongly recommend her work.

Stacey let’s you work at your own pace and is willing to let you focus on your main concerns and areas that you would like to. Very flexible and willing to go at your pace. That is excellent to me. She listens and talks to you but also challenges you to conduct yourself in a certain manor even when you’re not in therapy. She’s very understanding and also strait forward and listens to you and brings things back up that you’ve said earlier in the session. She’s awesome !

I was always hesitant to start therapy again after a failed first attempt, but Stacey really changed my outlook on the overall process and has shown me therapy can be way more impactful than I thought. She understands my main concerns and needs very well and pushes me to think in different ways that help me better understand myself, and the ways I think better than I ever thought I could. She's the best!

I appreciate how she speaks and the language she uses in our sessions. Somehow someway I can get lost in cliché and become subject to how I think my life is supposed to be, but she supports and helps me see that "this [my] life" and that is okay. She encourages me to go deeper and reassures me that my words are enough.

Stacey is all-around amazing. Her insight and expertise are delivered in a gentle and kind way, and I am learning so much about myself. Sessions with her are thought-provoking and effective. I would recommend her with the greatest enthusiasm.

Stacey is the best therapist I have had so far. I've tried many therapists, both on this site and in person, and she is, by far, the best I've had! She gives lots of great insights and feedback, listens to my concerns and thoughts, and is never judgmental. We chat throughout the week and our tele-sessions always go by super fast because we are so engaged. I'm so thankful I found Stacey <3

Stacey is really kind and as a newbie to therapy, she explains why shes asking questions and gives me the leeway to challenge what she sees

Stacey can see and hear what’s going on with me without me having to say much, and it’s a huge relief to be understood in that way. I’ve never felt more comfortable with a therapist and the few sessions I’ve had with her have already made a huge impact on my mental health.
