She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and mood disorders.

She treats worries about self-esteem, grief, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and life changes.

She also supports people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and personality-related difficulties.
Her style is straightforward and strengths-based. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for what already works. Conversations in sessions aim to identify clear goals and small steps that can reduce anger, ease tension in relationships, or limit overwhelming reactions.
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work toward calmer responses and better communication. She will help clients notice triggers, try different coping skills, and practice ways to respond differently in stressful moments. The focus is on what can change now and on building practical routines.
People who want direct, practical help with recurring anger, relationship strain, or mood problems can expect focused sessions that emphasize skill building and problem solving.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Stephanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anger and related concerns. One common approach focuses on learning specific coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce impulsive reactions and manage strong emotions; this helps when anger shows up at work or in close relationships. Another approach emphasizes examining patterns in relationships and communication, practicing alternative responses, and rebuilding trust and intimacy when those areas are strained.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies fit their needs and everyday routines.
