Great to meet you!

Welcome all! My name is Stephanie and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I earned a Masters of Social Work at California Baptist University, and have been practicing in this field since 2020. As a social worker, I have experience in hospital settings, child welfare system, and residential treatment. I have extensive experience in working with children, foster youth, families, and our unhoused population. Utilizing my skill set, I focus on providing trauma-informed care to create a safe and nurturing environment.

My approach to therapy

In working with my clients, I prioritize empathy, validation and encouragement. I hold each client with the utmost unconditional positive regard to promote a non-judgmental, safe space.

What you can expect from me

During our time together, you can expect our sessions to be client-centered, with the primary focus of promoting growth. Realistic goals will be set collaboratively, with the intention of increasing self-awareness and your over-all well-being.
