Stephanie is great. She pushes me to come up with the answers and solutions I need for problems I have while not spoon feeding me "her opinion on how to handle it". She makes me come up with the answer i am most comfortable with and has really helped me to grow as an individual and conquer my biggest challenges.

"It's like you're surfing... The same wave that can be a source of pain can be a beautiful flowing grace and source of power. It's all a matter of how you respond to it." Trey Anastasio
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and nationally certified. I have worked in this field for 9 years and have gained experience from many different settings and populations. I have experience working with addiction issues as well as depression, anxiety, and trauma. My work focuses a lot on values and being in the present moment. I am a certified in Acceptance Commitment Therapy however I utilize techniques from all different modalities. I believe the most important part of therapy is having a strong therapeutic relationship. If you feel I could help you along your journey, let's talk and start on your path. I look forward to meeting you! :)

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Stephanie helped me in the past but I'm going through a life roadbump and she's helping me right now
Stephanie always makes me feel heard and is so genuine in the advice she gives. Previous counselors I had before coming to Better Help made me feel like they were just outlining generic advice, where Stephanie always talks about me specifically, who I am, and my specific situation. She has taken the time to get to know me and what I value and helps to center me back on those personal goals. She is a huge reason why I am in the good mental place that I am today. Most importantly, I love the strategies that she gives me to navigate every day situations that I find challenging. We've been working together over a year and I'm so grateful for the growth she has helped me achieve.
Stephanie has been great for me! She's completely changed my outlook on life and has helped me work through some deep rooted issues, so that I know how to handle them when they arise. Shes been one of the best blessings in my life. I like that she always listens and is communicating despite how long winded my stories get some times, showing that she actively engages in helping me get better. I've had several therapists in my life and Stephanie is the only one I've stuck with long term. She's awesome at what she does.
Stephanie has been a great therapist for me. She's great at listening and offering options for how to deal with my problems and is just a really warm and friendly person and fun to talk to in general. I highly recommend Stephanie, especially if you're new to therapy like me - she'll hold your hand but also give you the tough truths you need to hear. Thanks so much!
I am extremely pleased with the progress I have made in my life, as a result of talking with Stephanie on a weekly basis, and texting with her over the past year! Well worth it!!!
I love that she lets me talk out what's in my head before we start working on anything, then manages to find the one that is the biggest. I feel a lot better having someone like her that can help.
Stephanie is a wonderful and thought provoking therapists. She blends kindness and understanding with hard truth when you need it. She is timely with responses and encourages you to communicate in various ways. I highly recommend her as a therapist.
She’s been a great support through my highs and lows
She is awesome with listening and understanding where I am coming from.
I’m so happy to talk with Stephanie about my issues. She listens very well understands my concerns and is really good at her job. I'd definitely recommend her to other people on BetterHelp. I’m pretty happy to get help from her.
She is very knowledgeable, understanding, and down to earth.
Stephanie is amazing. I love that she takes the time to respond meaningfully to me, no matter how frequently i message her. She's thoughtful and extremely good at helping me see situations from more than just my own perspective. She does an amazing job of helping you grow through your problems and really is a fantastic support structure. My short time with Stephanie so far has changed my life more than i possibly could have expected.
Stephanie is very responsive and always gets back to me in a timely manner which I greatly appreciate. On the phone, and during online conversations, she is positive, thoughtful, and friendly. She makes me feel that she cares about helping me. Her advice is sound as well as thought-provoking. I will continue to have contact with her on a regular basis to maintain good mental health because this is just as important as taking care of my physical health needs. I feel she can help me be a better person, accomplish more out of life, and reach higher levels of self-awareness.
So far I enjoy conversing with Stephanie.
Thanks for the help thus far I appreciate it, Stephanie is great.
Stephanie definitely let me think about things in a different way, challenge emotional suppressions and find realizations or meanings in certain habits or patterns.
Stephanie is patient and supportive. My progress is slow, but she makes me feel that I can one day feel better.
Stephanie has truly been a blessing that I was not expecting. She really takes the time to listen to my thoughts, my feelings and responds in a caring, professional manner. She makes me think from a different perspective that I may not have thought about and has truly been making a difference in my life. Thank you Stephanie.
