I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.

I am a licensed professional counseling and I have experience working with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, trauma, personal issues, self esteem, relationship issues and substance abuse. My counseling style is warm and engaging. I treat anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion

Hi, I'm Stefanie, and I'm so glad you're here! In my work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, empowering, and tailored to you! Through my experiences, education, and advanced fellowship training, I've gained insightful experience working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate trauma, life transitions, and challenges with anxiety and depression.

Using multiple approaches including EMDR, IFS (also known as Parts work), CBT, attachment and somatic-based interventions, we'll work together to better understand your unique experiences as we build meaningful pathways towards lasting change.

I affirm your effort to care for your self by seeking the support of a counselor. My work is guided by a profound belief that you have a natural impulse toward self-healing/self-correction when you are adequately supported. I seek to make a genuine connection with you because the therapeutic relationship is key to catalyzing healing change. Through experience, I have come to believe that patients can not only reduce their symptoms, but heal and thrive.

Seeking therapy is an important step towards healing. I help support clients who are looking to work through issues such as anxiety, unhealthy relationship dynamics, grief, trauma, and early attachment wounds, especially as a result of a borderline or narcissistic parent/caretaker.
