Great to meet you!

Life is full of emotion. It can make us laugh and cry... sometimes both in the same moment.

My name is Stephanie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Missouri, licensed in both MO & CA as well as a Certified Life Coach.

I have 20 years of experience coming alongside others on their journey as a guide. Together we can forge a path of perspective and self awareness; replacing lies with truth and taking in all of the beauty of the journey along the way.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Each person's destination and goals are unique.

Being a Christian first, a therapist & coach second, my faith directs my path. But, this does not mean you have to have the same faith as I do for us to work together. I draw a majority of my clinical approaches heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (known as CBT), Mindfulness, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), aligning them with Biblical principles.

What you can expect from our first session

At all times, as your guide, it is important to me that you feel safe, respected, heard, encouraged, empowered, and if necessary, challenged. Yes, you can do hard things. Now, you did not come this far to only come this far. Grab your favorite mug and find a place of solace. Let’s journey through this life together.
