Get to know Stephanie

What types of clients do you work with best?


Clients who are ready to do the work to make a change


What's one thing you wish all clients knew?


Change is hard. Our minds and bodies strive for status quo, even when that is unhealthy or is no longer serving us, we crave it. A good therapist will push you to do the hard work.


What can clients expect in their first session with you?


The first session is much like a first date! We are getting to know one another and what we would like to see going forward. The relationship in therapy needs to be one of trust and respect.


What do you do for fun/on your time off?


I love the beach and scuba diving and I ride horses competitively.
