More about Stephanie
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in California, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I specialize in supporting individuals working through intimacy concerns, self-esteem challenges, and significant life transitions.
My approach is deeply compassionate and culturally responsive, with a focus on empowering clients to develop stronger communication skills, practice self-love, and heal from difficult experiences like divorce or caregiver stress. I believe in creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.
Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I work collaboratively with each client to understand their unique strengths and develop personalized strategies for emotional well-being. My goal is to help you build greater self-understanding, emotional balance, and capacity for personal healing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
