About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the field for over 30 years. I work primarily with adults who present with depression, anxiety, job stress, parenting stress, struggling with grief and loss. I also have experience in working with people who are dealing with the many transitions of life: marriage, divorce, retirement, aging parents and nearing end of life.

My counseling style is warm, friendly, with a bit of humor. I am client centered/focused. We will begin with where you are. Seeking help can be a difficult decision to make. You have made that first difficult step in exploring and seeking help. My training/approach is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psycho-dynamic. I tend to focus on teaching you skills to help you manage your symptoms, thinking process, and communication style. Your treatment plan will be individualized to meet your needs.

Change is difficult. Nobody likes change. But, if you are ready and willing to do the work, I am willing to be your guide and help you during this process. I look forward to working with you.

I love Stacy!! I have been working with her for about 2 years and she is one of the most empathetic, resourceful and understanding therapists I have ever met.

Stacy is absolutely amazing! She never makes me feel like what I'm saying is silly, even if I think it is. She always responds in a timely manner and offers multiple ways to help on days we don't meet. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone!

Stacy is wonderful, she has talked me through the hardest time I've had to undergo in a long time. She listens, provides constructive recommendations and options, and is very quick to respond. Coincidentally, we can relate in many ways in our life experiences.

Stacy is an excellent therapist. She has helped me process so many things and has done so in a caring and compassionate manner. It's like talking to a friend and I consider myself lucky to have been matched to her right from the beginning. I have had many changes in my life and she has helped me through them.
