Healing Begins In Connection
Hi, I'm Stephanie.
Healing begins when we feel truly seen, understood, and supported.
I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Art Therapist who is passionate about helping teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and self-understanding. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, or a major life transition, I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe to be yourself and explore what healing looks like for you.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop practical coping tools, and uncover patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My approach combines evidence-based therapies with compassion, creativity, and genuine connection to help you create meaningful and lasting change.
As both a therapist and trained artist, I also offer art therapy as a unique pathway to healing and self-expression. Sometimes emotions and experiences are difficult to put into words, and creative expression can provide a powerful way to process feelings, gain insight, and foster personal growth. No artistic experience is necessary—art therapy is about the process, not the final product.
You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
My practice is currently full and I am accepting waitlist inquiries only at this time. If you're interested in working with me, I warmly invite you to join my waitlist by scheduling a consultation.
