Hi, I’m Stephanie—and I’m genuinely glad you’re here. I know it takes courage to even start reading something like this, let alone consider talking to someone about the parts of life that feel heavy, messy, or overwhelming. Together we will work on learning new skills and ways to relate to your thoughts and feelings in different ways. So if you’re feeling anxious, stuck in perfectionism or people pleasing, trying to keep up with everything, or quietly losing touch with yourself—you’re not alone. These are exhausting patterns, and therapy can be a space where things begin to shift. My approach is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and compassion. I offer a supportive, judgment-free space where you can explore your story, reconnect with who you are, and move toward meaningful, lasting growth. Using practical, evidence-based tools—especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Positive Psychology—we’ll work together to ease symptoms like anxiety, self-doubt, and burnout, while building emotional flexibility and resilience. I have a particular passion for supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, helping them navigate mood changes, identity shifts, and the mental load with more balance and self-compassion. In my private practice (Living in Alignment), I specialize in helping women move from survival mode into a life of clarity, confidence, and purpose. That said, I welcome and enjoy working with all adults. Many men, especially those with active or high-performing lifestyles, find that my straightforward, holistic style helps them feel at ease and empowered in our work together. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, relationship stress, or the constant pressure to perform—therapy can help you reconnect with what matters and increase your level of fulfillment and vitality in your life. With over 15 years of experience in clinical and community settings, I bring a wellness-based, integrative lens to each session—supporting the whole person, mind and body. My goal is to help you feel grounded, aligned, and equipped to create real change. Outside of therapy, I enjoy running, spending time with my family, reading, learning, and appreciating the simple things. Health, mindfulness, and meaningful connection are central to my life—and I bring those values into the work I do. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again and build a life that reflects who you truly are, I’d be honored to support you.

Hi. My name is Cindy and I am a national certified counselor(NCC) and licensed counselor in Iowa (LMHC0 and Michigan (LPC). I have had a private practice for 12+ years where I provide individual, couple and group counseling. I am a former president of the Iowa Mental Health Counselors Association and am active with a number of other professional counseling organizations. I began my counseling work in addictions treatment, with a particular emphasis on treating the family system. I also have specialized in working with children and adults on the autism spectrum. My training as a mental health counselor helps me assist them with the wide array of co-existing conditions they often deal with, such as: ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, etc...while my personal experience as a mother and aunt to children on the spectrum gives me a deeper understanding of the challenges parents face. While I believe a client centered approach (having empathy, unconditional positive regard, and always being authentic) is fundamental to building the counseling relationship I do not adhere to any one treatment theory or modality. Just as every client is unique, I consider it my job to partner with my client to find their learning style and preferences and then tailor a treatment approach that best suits them. I regularly utilize aspects of CBT, DBT, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. For partnership/couple counseling I often utilize research and techniques from the Gottman approach, EFT, and ACT. I have research interests in counseling ethics, personality disorders, autistic spectrum disorders and animal assisted therapy and have given professional workshops on these topics at the local, regional, and national levels. I hope this gives you an idea of who I am. At heart I am a helper, and my training and credentialing are avenues to assist me in trying to be the best helper I can. I also want you to know I really appreciate the courage it takes for someone to open up to counseling and to be a part of that process is a privilege I do not take lightly. Just a note, in order to be compliant with the variety of licensing regulations in different states, I only utilize A/V telehealth for appointments.
