Hello, I'm Stephanie. As a Navy veteran and retired military spouse, I have a deep personal appreciation for the military population and am inspired to continue serving by providing evidence-based treatment. In our therapeutic journey together, we will create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. My passion for helping individuals transform their lives has led me to pursue a diverse range of clinical specialties, from trauma treatment to play therapy.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based techniques. I draw from a range of modalities, tailoring each treatment plan to meet the unique needs and goals of my clients. I believe that self-awareness is the key to personal growth, and I work closely with my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a non-judgmental and supportive atmosphere.
With a Master's degree (MA) and as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in areas such as anger management, anxiety, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, grief/bereavement, life transitions, multicultural/diversity issues, PTSD, intimate/romantic relationships, stress, trauma, military/veteran support, and family relationships. My diverse background and personal experiences allow me to connect deeply with my clients and understand their unique challenges.
I am here to support you on your journey to self-discovery and healing. Let's work together to create a path forward that feels right for you. If you're ready to take the first step, I invite you to reach out and begin this transformative journey with me.
