More about Stephanie

Hello and welcome to my page. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you on your journey. I work with adults and seniors, individuals, couples, families, and groups struggling with anxiety, depression, and identity issues. I help by allowing you to tell your story, tap into your individual strengths to facilitate healing, achieve greater emotional intelligence, develop healthier communication styles, and overcome your life challenges. Within a strength-based, client-centered environment, I utilize an eclectic approach using elements of solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology.

It is my intent to teach you the tools and skills you need to rise. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. The reality is that most of the things I will be speaking about in this program will not be new concepts to you. You already have so much to deal with and go through in your everyday life, I get it. It has never been, and never will be my intention to change you or put more on your plate. I invite you to recognize that no matter what you are going through or what challenge you are facing one of these three situations will ALWAYS be true:

1) You already have everything that you need to deal with whatever it is that you are going through

2) You can learn any tool or skill you need to get you through what you're going through

3) You can enlist the support needed to get through what you're going through

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
