Hi, I’m Stephanie—and I’m so glad you’re here. My approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and compassion. I believe in creating a space that’s free of judgment and full of understanding—a place where you can explore your story, reconnect with yourself, and experience meaningful growth and healing. I specialize in helping women move beyond survival mode and into a life rooted in clarity, confidence, and purpose. Together, we’ll work with practical, evidence-based tools that support you in facing anxiety, fear, and self-doubt with more ease and self-compassion. You deserve a life that feels aligned with what truly matters to you—not just one you’re getting through. My therapy style is genuine, collaborative, and holistic—with a touch of humor and a deep respect for the mind-body connection. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and positive psychology to help you build emotional flexibility and resilience. We’ll also take into account your overall health and wellness, because true healing considers the whole person. In our work together, we’ll look at the patterns that may be holding you back and gently begin to shift them. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, relationship stress, perfectionism, or the mental load of daily responsibilities, therapy can help you reconnect to your values and move forward with greater intention. I have a particular passion for supporting women through the unique challenges of perimenopause and menopause. These transitions can be deeply emotional and physically disruptive—but they don’t have to be faced alone. I offer support to help you manage mood changes, anxiety, and identity shifts with compassion and balance. With over 15 years of experience in a variety of clinical and community settings, I bring a wellness-focused, integrative approach to each session. My goal is for you to feel empowered, supported, and equipped to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life. Outside of the therapy room, I find joy in movement, spending time with my family, reading, being outdoors, and embracing the simple things in life. Health, wellness, mindfulness, and spirituality are all core to who I am—and I love weaving those values into my work. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and move toward a more aligned, fulfilling life, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Therapy is an opportunity that allows for you to have a deeper connection with yourself, helping you to show up differently and more authentically in your life. Through exploration, my clients gain knowledge of negative patterns and limiting beliefs. This information increases self-awareness leading to powerful conscious change. I draw from several therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs. My style is warm, direct, honest and open. I welcome you to share your story.
