Stephanie specializes in helping individuals recover from addiction, regulate emotions, manage anger, increase motivation, reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem, and overcome career challenges. Her therapeutic philosophy centers on empowering you to develop the skills, confidence, and self-awareness needed to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
The goal is to help you build a toolkit of coping strategies and emotional insights that serve you well beyond our sessions, whether you choose to continue therapy for ongoing growth or feel ready to apply these skills independently. Through our sessions, you will learn essential coping and problem-solving skills while developing new perspectives on life's challenges. As we work through past hurts and unresolved trauma, you will build the confidence and tools needed to tackle future problems independently.
Take time to reflect on what brings you to therapy so you can maximize your sessions. Consider creating a list of concerns or goals if that approach resonates with you. Some topics may feel difficult to discuss initially and will require time for you to develop comfort and trust with your therapist. This is completely normal—you will reach that point when you are ready.
