Welcome. I’m glad that you’re here.
I’m Stephanie. I care deeply about collaborating with clients to learn how to self-heal trauma & embody their life-path. I have a wide range of embodied and holistic offerings that may be of service to you on your healing journey.
Somatic + Embodiment- based therapy
Metabolizing trauma is at the heart of what I do. As a body-centered psychotherapist, I believe in including the wisdom of body, emotions, and mind to guide you toward resiliency.
My approach blends mindfulness, somatic, attachment, and trauma-informed approaches within present-moment awareness. I aim to assist individuals in regaining nervous system regulation, re-inhabiting the body, releasing shame, and re-parenting wounded attachment systems. With a strong emphasis on inner healing intelligence, I collaborate with clients to become more familiar with their innate wisdom and ability to heal and achieve growth.
Together we can explore your inherent abilities to heal and grow while living a fuller and more purposeful life.
“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.”

Individual Psychotherapy:
I understand therapy as an opportunity for an authentic relationship to empower healing. I aim to create a space of complete authenticity and safety where you can bring every part of yourself and feel a sense of freedom, acceptance, and belonging. I believe that within each of us is an inner healing intelligence.
I invite you to a non-judgmental space that embraces attunement, curiosity, and presence. We will discover your unique healing journey through trauma-informed and mindfulness-based therapies. I look forward to allying with you on your wellness.
Psychedelic Integration Coaching
Are you exploring alternative modalities for healing and transformation that involve expanded states of consciousness?
I am an advocate for the responsible and equitable integration of psychedelic medicines into the therapeutic process. Trained in MAPS MDMA Assisted Therapy and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, I believe that the Preparation and Integration of your experience with plant-based medicine is a vital part of your process.
Decolonizing Lens to Therapy:
I understand therapy to be an opportunity to radically reimagine the old mental health paradigm by integrating not just our individual experiences as embodied humans but also an awareness of the ongoing trauma of colonial, capitalist and white supremacist systems. This approach invites us to also heal our past, honor our legacies and histories, and cultivate liberation for all.
Together we can learn and practice tools that help us courageously reckon with the pain of our inherited past and co-create new pathways for wellness not dependent on systems that keep us sick and tired.
