Stephanie’s integrative and collaborating approach allows individuals, couples, and families to openly discuss concerns utilizing a trauma lens. Stephanie’s view of trauma is an unplanned, alteration in a prospective life journey that may hinder the sense of safety, self-worth, identity or engagement in relationships. She helps clients to develop and strengthen coping mechanisms through psychotherapy from a Bowenian approach, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Inner-Child Exploration coupled with experiential sessions, in processing through distressing situations.
