About me

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist, and a Behavior Specialist. I have enjoyed over 13 years working in the mental health field, helping my clients change their lives in positive ways.

Those that I come alongside often say I provide warm, heartfelt support and professional guidance as they found hope and transformation through their struggles. Taking part in their journey as an expert guide, I have helped individuals navigate their way through depression, anxiety, relationship issues, lack of self-confidence, major life transitions, grief, and loss.

Refreshing to my clients, I have a unique and individualized approach to my counseling, while at the same time being highly educated and expertly trained in mental health. I make coping strategies simple and easy to apply in real life.

Cognitive-Behavioral, Person-Centered, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, and Strength-Based are just some of the theories that I draw from. I tailor my service in unique ways to support the specific needs of my clients while drawing from proven theoretical strategies.

During our sessions together, you can expect that we will sort through the challenges you are facing, choose the strategies that work the best while focusing on making the changes that matter the most to you. What's on your mind most and how may I support you is a theme of the service I provide.

I am confident of this: the life you want is already within your reach and the struggle that you are feeling right now is just temporary. You’ve already done the hardest part; you reached out and asked for help.

Now it's time for you to take the next best step.

Know I am here for you, as you begin this journey. Let’s take that next step, together.

Stacie and I have been working together for a year. She is a great listener and helps me to think about the issues I bring to the table. She also gave me the confidence I needed to move forward into a new career. I would recommend her to just about anyone!

Stacie has been phenomenal to work with. She has been a great listening ear, has given me reassurance when I needed it and most importantly has helped me develop adequate coping skills to deal with the curveballs life throws. I am forever grateful to her and BetterHelp for the accessible and accommodating therapy. I recommend BetterHelp to everyone!

Stacie was instrumental in helping me to move forward after a breakup from a long-term relationship. She is compassionate, understanding, and provided me with some valuable insights on the dynamic and how it related to my upbringing. I highly recommend Stacie.
