Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a licensed professional counselor who loves to help individuals experience and maintain emotional health. I have 13 years of counseling experience in private practice settings. Life is hard and navigating through emotional pain and stress can be more than most people can handle alone. Counseling offers those who are hurting the opportunity to have another person walk with them in their pain, offering support and guidance. My counseling style is non-judgmental and very relational, offering hope and grace to all in the midst of their brokenness and struggles. I work with a wide variety of clients and issues with a special focus in the areas of self-esteem/self-worth and grief/loss due to death, divorce, life transitions, or unfulfilled life expectations. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
