Stephanie received her master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Capella University. Stephanie believes that everyone has the power within themselves to experience well-being. She believes a strong therapeutic relationship consists of empathy, congruence, and an unconditional positive regard, and is central to helping people on their journey toward well-being. Understanding ourselves, our history, our feelings, and how these fit into the world around us is a lifelong adventure. This excursion leads to deeper insight about ourselves and our place in this world and is an important component of well-being. Stephanie utilizes many different approaches during sessions, but most often utilized is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people understand how our thoughts and behaviors influence how we feel, and equip people with a tool belt of coping skills to help manage their thoughts and feelings effectively. "Life is hard to navigate alone. Seeing a therapist makes navigating life a little less hard and a little less lonely."

Stephanie works with individuals ages 13-60 and up on the individual level, as well as couples and families.
