About Dr. Stephanie
Client Words
The last two years I have been in sort of a deadlock – not just emotionally but also with my writing. I felt invisible and I knew I had to release negative stress. Since working with Stephanie I not only moved to a creative part of town – finished my book- “Mirror Mirror off the Wall” and took part in a reality show.
She opened a shut door in my life. I feel open to express what I kept hidden and I am very grateful to Stephanie. She made me understand what otherwise was hidden.
-Dianne Werne, Author

Working with Stephanie has been transformative for my healing journey. The techniques and guidance provided have helped me appreciate my self-worth, become more aware of my emotions and feelings, and learn to experience and work through emotions in a healthy way.
The therapeutic approach has helped me find peace and learn to relax, while giving voice to different parts of myself that needed to be heard and validated. During our sessions, I've experienced significant emotional releases and breakthroughs that have been incredibly healing.
I'm grateful for the skilled and compassionate guidance that has supported my progress and personal growth. The therapeutic work we've done together has been truly life-changing.

I have over twenty years clinical training and experience working with a culturally diverse population of children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples and families in a wide range of clinical settings from state psychiatric hospitals, residential facilities, homeless shelters, non-profit organizations, a regional center, in their homes, and private practice, as a clinician, clinical supervisor, case manager, psychological evaluator and program creator.
My clients sought treatment and coaching for a variety of presenting issues from short-term adjustment concerns to more long standing deep rooted issues to making healthy lifestyle changes.
My approach as a therapist and coach is integrative based on the individual needs of my clients and combines evidence-based appreciative inquiry, acceptance-based approaches (e.g. mindfulness), cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, motivational interviewing, relational, solution-focused and transpersonal approaches.
