Great to meet you!

If you're carrying grief, trauma, or the weight of a serious health crisis in your family, I'm here to help you find steady ground. I'm Stephanie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with five years supporting survivors of domestic violence and four years as a medical social worker. I focus on depression, stress management, trauma, end of life care, and grief or loss, bringing compassionate, client centered care to individuals and families.

My approach to therapy

In therapy, I take a warm, client centered approach where your story, values, and goals guide our work together. I draw on my experience with domestic violence, complex medical diagnoses, and grief to help you navigate difficult transitions and emotional pain. We will move at a pace that feels safe, while building tools to manage stress, process trauma, and find moments of hope and resilience.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, you can expect a warm introduction and a welcoming, judgment-free environment. We will complete an in-depth psychosocial assessment, discuss your current concerns, and explore your goals for therapy. We will also talk about what you hope to gain from our sessions and work together to create a treatment approach that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.
