About My Clients
Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count? I know exactly what you're feeling: the pounding chest, the shortness of breath, the feeling that the walls are closing in and you need out NOW. Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back.
My Background and Approach
Hi, I’m Stephanie, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) based in California. My passion is helping individuals, children, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. Whether you’re facing trauma, navigating family dynamics, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you uncover strengths, build resilience, and move toward healing. I bring a unique blend of warmth, structure, and creativity to therapy, drawing from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I’m also deeply committed to working with marginalized communities. With experience supporting children, teens, and adults, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Outside the therapy room, you might find me practicing yoga, exploring ways to integrate wellness into mental health, or enjoying time with my family. I believe that small steps can lead to significant changes, and I’m honored to walk alongside you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to human capacity. I think the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. Through my own therapy, I learned how to handle my anxiety and move past it so that it didn't have control over me. I haven't had a panic attack in years and I want you to feel the same freedom that I experience every day. I believe the Portland Trailblazers are the best team in the NBA, but I will not judge you if you're not aware of that obvious fact. I don't discriminate against anyone. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message.
