Hello, my name is Stephanie. I have been working as a counselor for 8 years. I am passionate about empowering others to know that they are not alone and that positive change is possible. I utilize a person-centered approach, knowing that each person has unique experiences and out of that different values, beliefs, and passions are developed. My counseling style is non-judgmental, empathetic, and genuine. I create a safe place where you can come as you are and know that you will be accepted, encouraged, and challenged along the way.

I enjoy working with individuals ages 14 and up, specializing in the areas of ADHD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence/abuse, grief/loss, life transitions, parenting, perinatal concerns, relationship distress, and general wellness. I utilize the following clinical modalities of logotherapy, somatic/mindfulness approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, and trauma/grief interventions. I am a trauma informed Counselor and have experience working with complex trauma.

I have advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International (PSI). I have a strong desire to help those who are experiencing perinatal mental health issues related to childbearing. This encompasses concerns connected to pregnancy loss, high risk pregnancy, and any mental health concerns/stress related to pregnancy and 2 years postpartum. I work with both moms and with dads who are experiencing perinatal mental health concerns.

Outside of work, I greatly enjoy spending time with my family and with my friends. Some of my favorite things include Jazzercise on Demand, strong coffee, dark chocolate, and watching animated movies/shows.

Education: Stephanie received her Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest Nazarene University in 2017, with emphasis areas in Logotherapy and the second in Crisis, Trauma, & Grief therapy.
