Stephanie is a Marriage and Family Therapist with over thirty years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate complex life challenges related to mental health and relationships. She provides therapy exclusively through telehealth services, offering clients the convenience of accessing care from any location.

For individual therapy, Stephanie tailors the therapeutic approach to meet each client's unique needs, utilizing evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, communication strategies, and energy psychology/Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). For those addressing relationship concerns, she assists clients in gaining a deeper understanding of their emotional and relational needs, identifying patterns that contribute to distress, and developing new pathways for self-expression, communication, and conflict resolution.

When working with couples and families, Stephanie employs a variety of family systems approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman methods, and other relationship-building processes. These approaches aim to enhance communication, foster mutual understanding, and deepen emotional connections within relationships.

A special focus of Stephanie’s practice is supporting parents in transition due to separation or divorce. Whether working individually or with a co-parent, she provides guidance on managing the divorce process, improving co-parent communication, developing parenting plans, and making decisions that prioritize the well-being of the family and children.

Stephanie’s personal philosophy emphasizes that true empowerment comes from embracing change as an opportunity for growth and wisdom. By working together, clients can navigate life’s challenges and move forward on a path of personal growth and resilience.
