I'm a licensed therapist in New York with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients across the lifespan, bringing a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy.
My areas of expertise include addiction recovery, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem work. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, panic, relationship conflicts, grief from divorce and separation, and attachment patterns. I also support individuals who are struggling with executive functioning and task initiation.
I'm particularly skilled at addressing control issues, codependency, impulsivity, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. I work with individuals navigating blended family challenges, infidelity, and family-of-origin wounds. I also support neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and Asperger's syndrome.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and centers on helping you build authentic self-love, improve communication, and discover your life's purpose. I create a welcoming, affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a secular therapeutic experience.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. My role is to meet you with genuine care and curiosity, helping you heal and move toward the life you deserve.

Stephanie has become such an integral part of my growth in the last year and a half that we’ve worked together. She guides our conversations in a way that is gentle, but direct. She encourages me to challenge thought patterns and existing beliefs about myself by focusing on situational facts. Working with Stephanie has made a huge difference in my ability to trust myself and my decisions, thus, reducing my anxiety and boosting my mental confidence. In my opinion, it’s 100% worth investing the time and money into therapy with Stephanie!
