Stephanie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach focuses on practical strategies and skills that can support concerns such as anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy is offered to address the impact of past traumatic experiences by safely working through memories and reactions while building coping skills to manage triggers. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation across a range of challenges.
