Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Stephanie.

I'm a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping people reconnect with themselves and the people they love. Since 2018, I've supported individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and the unexpected moments that life throws our way.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. Therapy with me isn't about being analyzed, it's about being truly heard. Together, we'll build the tools and insight you need to move forward with confidence.

Thinking About Therapy?

It's normal to have questions before getting started. Here are answers to some of the questions I hear most often.

What can I expect during my first session?

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, trusting relationship. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, the challenges you're facing, and what you'd like to get out of our work together. There's no pressure to have all the answers or know exactly where to start. I'll meet you where you are and help guide the conversation.

What is therapy with you like?

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

Do I need to have a specific problem to start therapy?

Not at all. Some clients come to therapy because they're experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, or depression, while others simply feel stuck and want support navigating a difficult season of life.

Do you offer therapy in Spanish?

Yes. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish so you can express yourself in the language that feels most comfortable and natural to you.
