Hello, I’m Stephanie. I know firsthand how vulnerable it can feel, and how much courage it takes, to show up for therapy. My goal is to make that experience compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in your strengths. I believe everyone, at every stage, is capable of glimmers of hope and healing, even when the process is messy and gradual.
Many of the adults I work with are carrying a lot at once. Work, relationships, health, family, and often caring for a child or an aging parent. The anxiety and exhaustion of holding it all together can make it hard to remember what you need. Together we slow down, sort through what’s weighing on you, and build ways of coping that fit your actual life.
I also work with grief and loss, chronic illness and chronic stress, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, infertility and pregnancy loss, perimenopause, and spiritual questions. My trauma work focuses on religious abuse, intimate partner abuse and violence, painful relationships, and single-event traumas like a car accident, surgery, or a frightening medical experience. I see teens 13 and up as well as adults.
Ages I work with
- Adolescents 13+, Individual Adults, Parents, Families
My approach is trauma-informed and pays attention to the connection between mind and body, because stress and hard experiences often live in the nervous system, not just our thoughts. I draw from CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and somatic and self-compassion practices. I am neuro-affirming and queer-affirming, and I believe every person deserves to be seen and valued in their humanity.
I offer both daytime and some evening appointments, in person at our Wyoming office or virtually. For many people, a morning or lunch-hour session is easier to protect than an evening one, especially when kids are in school and you’re not juggling after-school pickups.
I am a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan and earned my Master of Social Work from Grand Valley State University. Before becoming a social worker, I was a certified holistic health coach, supporting people through chronic illness, food allergies, and building a balanced relationship with food.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay. You don’t have to have it all sorted out before we meet.
