Great to meet you!

I'm Stef, a licensed clinical social worker and registered yoga teacher. I work primarily with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or stretched too thin by the demands of life. I also specialize in women's mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

I became a therapist because I know how easy it is to get caught up in taking care of everyone else while ignoring your own needs. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, direct, and genuine. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and sometimes includes humor when it helps.

My background in both mental health and yoga informs the way I work. While we'll focus on understanding thoughts, emotions, and patterns, I also pay attention to how stress shows up in the body and how healing often involves reconnecting with ourselves as a whole person.

My approach to therapy

I use approaches like CBT and DBT to help build practical tools for managing difficult thoughts, emotions, and stress. I also value exploring the deeper patterns, relationships, and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and move through the world. My goal is to help you better understand yourself while creating meaningful and lasting change.

What you can expect from me

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine connection, so I show up as my real self, and I encourage you to do the same. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation. I will support and challenge you when needed, and I also believe humor can be an important part of the process when it fits. Outside the office, you’ll usually find me chasing my two kids, hanging with my golden retriever, or fitting in a workout.
