all about Stephanie
Stephanie approaches therapy with a deep commitment to helping clients navigate their journeys of self-exploration and healing. Inspired by the idea that “We are all just walking each other home,” she sees her role as a guide, offering unconditional support and genuine care from the very first session.
While pursuing her MA in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness at NYU, Stephanie draws on her background in journalism to bring a unique perspective to her work. She recognizes the power of the stories we tell ourselves and takes a holistic approach to understanding her clients within the context of their upbringing, culture, family dynamics, and relationships. Her goal is to help clients feel seen, understood, and connected as they work toward greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and alignment in their lives.
