Founder, Psychotherapist

THERAPY WITH STEPHANIE IN THREE WORDS:

DIRECT • PRACTICAL • SOMATIC

Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Certified Somatic Healer, Meditation Instructor, Level II Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II), and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher (TIYT) who helps individuals and couples navigate anxiety, burnout, and the demands of modern life. Many of her clients struggle with anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling like they can never fully relax.

Stephanie’s approach helps clients connect the dots between past experiences, current patterns, and the ways stress shows up in both the mind and body. She won’t just sit back and listen. She asks thoughtful questions, offers honest feedback, and gives clients concrete tools they can use outside of therapy.

With extensive training in mind-body therapies, she incorporates somatic practices, mindfulness, and movement to to help clients feel less stuck in their heads, more comfortable in their bodies, and better able to handle stress when it shows up.

When Stephanie’s not in the therapy room, she enjoys doing yoga, listening to live music and going to concerts, baking, doing crossword puzzles, or cuddling with her dog, Layla.

Our bodies develop holding patterns, or habitual ways of responding to stress.
The good news is that they can be changed. Somatic therapy helps you notice these patterns, understand what they're communicating, and gradually teach your nervous system a new way of responding.

If you've ever felt like your body is carrying more than your mind can explain, our newest blog explores how somatic therapy may help.

Maybe you've been in therapy before but still feel like something is missing. Or maybe you've noticed that stress doesn't just live in your mind. It shows up as tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, stomach issues, or feeling like you can never truly relax. Somatic therapy recognizes that healing isn't just about changing your thoughts. It's about understanding what your body has been holding onto, too. In our newest blog, we're sharing seven signs that somatic therapy might be right for you, how it works, and why including the body in the healing process can lead to deeper, more lasting change. Read the full blog through the link in our bio.

Therapy can help you create more authentic and solid relationships. One of the transformations that often comes from working on relationships in therapy is about allowing yourself to show up more authentically in relationships, and prioritizing that over being liked by everyone. You might still care what people think. You might still feel uncomfortable when someone is disappointed in you. The difference is learning that you can handle that discomfort without abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
