Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Stephanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping you find deeper connection, meaning, and purpose in your life. I view wellness holistically, understanding that mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected. I provide a warm, affirming space for adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions, as well as those managing personality disorders, mood disorders, and substance use. My goal is to honor your whole self, helping you move past simply surviving so you can realign with what truly brings you fulfillment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is positive, collaborative, and deeply honoring of your personal autonomy. To support your unique journey toward purpose and healing, I weave together practical, evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with grounding mindfulness techniques and DBT skill-building. By centering on a strengths-based framework, we won't just focus on managing symptoms; we will actively cultivate present-moment awareness, inner resilience, and the self-compassion needed to foster lasting, holistic growth.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is all about creating a safe, validating space where we can begin to build a meaningful connection. Together, we will take a holistic look at your current life landscape, exploring not just the challenges you are facing, but also your values, strengths, and goals for the future. We will integrate a brief grounding or mindfulness practice to help you feel centered and present. You can expect to leave this session feeling heard, understood, and equipped with a collaborative roadmap focused on helping you reclaim your sense of purpose and direction.
