More about Stephanie

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW

My goal is to help all my clients live the life they want. I want to help you figure out how to accept limitations, identify alternatives, and dream big! The world is both messy and exciting, let's figure out how to navigate it together.

I’m an eclectic therapist, taking everything I've learned over the past 11 years and adapting it to meet the needs of my patients. This might include art therapy, CBT, trauma-informed, and more. I especially like to incorporate humor into my sessions, along with creating a space that welcomes people however they are.

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.
