Hi! I'm Stephanie. I offer individual therapy to adults struggling with anxiety, depression and chronic self judgment who tend to feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions and who are looking for support as they learn to manage their symptoms, reduce overwhelm and gain a sense of balance in their lives. I provide premarital counseling for couples preparing for marriage, and couples counseling for couples looking to improve their communication, cultivate deeper intimacy and overcome trust issues.

I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and I was selected to participate in the Student Government Association, The Trauma Education Connection, and Title IV-E Program. I received additional expertise in trauma informed practice.

I am licensed clinical and forensic social worker with over 6 years of experience providing services to children and families. Highly experienced in trauma informed practice, depression, adjustment in life transitions, grief, parenting, family relationships, and Anxiety.

I am someone who brings light into the lives of others with empathy. As a mental health therapist, my ability to listen deeply and provide support helps so many navigate their challenges. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where people can be their true selves. I believe compassion creates healing and hope in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I’ve witness my work have an incredible impact on the lives of others.
