Great to meet you!

Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with both children and adults. She specializes in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, oppositional behaviors, and grief. She believes that behaviors and symptoms are forms of communication, and together you will work to understand what’s underneath them while building practical, effective coping tools.

My approach to therapy

Stephanie's approach to therapy is warm, direct, and solution-focused. She meets clients where they are — whether that means structured skill-building, insight-oriented work, or simply providing a steady, nonjudgmental space to process life’s challenges. With children, she incorporates developmentally appropriate and engaging approaches. With adults, she focuses on strengthening coping skills, improving self-understanding, and building confidence in navigating relationships, stress, and transitions.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming — whether you're seeking support for your child or looking for help yourself. Stephanie's goal is to make the process feel safe, supportive, and collaborative from the very first session. Above all, she believes therapy should feel supportive and growth-oriented. Her hope is that clients leave sessions feeling understood, capable, and better equipped to move forward.
