About Stephanie
Stephanie’s passion for perinatal mental health began through her own journey into motherhood. Having personally experienced many of the emotional shifts, challenges, and joys that can accompany becoming a parent, she feels honored to support individuals through the many transitions of this season of life.
Her clinical interests include supporting individuals navigating infertility, reproductive challenges, pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period.
Stephanie recognizes that the journey to parenthood can bring a wide range of emotions, including grief, uncertainty, identity shifts, and unexpected challenges, even during seasons that are often expected to feel joyful.
Drawing from both personal and professional understanding, she provides compassionate support to clients navigating fertility concerns, assisted reproductive technologies, pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and the complexities of early parenthood. She is especially passionate about helping clients feel supported through experiences that may feel overwhelming, isolating, or different from what they had imagined.
Stephanie approaches therapy through a person-centered lens, believing that each client possesses deep wisdom, resilience, and capacity for growth. She strives to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, valued, and empowered to reconnect with their own strengths, insight, and sense of self.
Her approach is warm, gentle, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that meaningful change often begins when people feel genuinely understood.
EMDR for Trauma, Loss, and Reproductive Experiences
In addition to her work in perinatal and reproductive mental health, Stephanie has completed training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and has a particular interest in using this approach to help clients process trauma and distressing experiences related to infertility, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.
She feels especially grateful to walk alongside clients as they process reproductive and perinatal loss through EMDR, helping them work through painful experiences and move toward a greater sense of healing.
Professional Background
Prior to joining Parent & Family Wellness Center, Stephanie worked with families involved in the child welfare system. In this role, she helped families access community resources, strengthen support systems, and navigate challenges related to family stability and reunification.
This experience deepened her appreciation for the importance of accessible mental health care and continues to inform her compassionate, systems-informed approach to therapy.
Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of the therapy room, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her family, taking nature walks, caring for her many houseplants, tending her cut-flower garden, and creating pottery.
