About me

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I hope you what you read encourages you as you search for the right person to meet your needs and work with you toward accomplishing your goals.

I believe that everyone, no matter their struggle or place in life, deserves kindness, respect, and dignity. I treat all of my clients with those values in mind. I have worked very hard in both my professional and personal life to provide education to others about the struggles people face in life. My hope is to reduce stigmatization and isolation and create a bigger sense of unity and wholeness among ourselves.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the state of California and have twelve years of experience working with a variety of populations from young adults sorting through their place and meaning in the world to those diagnosed with mental illness such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Major Depressive Disorder to helping parents cope with the everyday challenges of parenting, I especially enjoy working with new parents adjusting to the major life changes of raising a child and all that it entails.

I combine an eclectic approach of cognitive behavioral, family systems, and pyschodynamic tools and well as practical, grounded techniques that will help my clients handle day to day interactions with others and manage the daily stress of life. I believe in a team approach of therapist and client working together to accomplish your goals and believe in providing you with a clear direction with your therapy.

Such a caring wonderful soul.

Stephanie is very good at following up with the issues that are prevalent in my life. She questions and offers advice with making assumptions. She has a soft touch to therapy which makes it easier for me to open up. She has also helped me become mindful of things that I was previously blind to.
