Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I’m a mom and I believe in the power of asking for help.
I’m a licensed therapist and a mom who understands the unique stresses that come with raising a family today. I like to call it: the stress and exhaustion of modern motherhood. I believe that caring for moms is essential because, when you’re supported, everyone in the family benefits.
I take a big-picture view in therapy—understanding that your challenges are connected to everything around you, including your culture and family relationships, daily pressures, and the societal expectations you may feel.
When we work together, we’ll focus on building the support and balance you need. Whether you’re dealing with postpartum depression, struggling to connect with your partner, or just trying to keep up with the demands of motherhood, I’m here to help.
My goal is to empower you to feel more centered and present, both for yourself and for those you love most.
