Stephanie prioritizes person-centered therapy and finds fulfillment in making therapy feel warm and easy-going to clients. “I’m a real person. I care, I don’t judge.” …“At the end of the day, I want to make the world a better place.”
In her free time, Stephanie enjoys being creative. Photography, cake decorating, and baking sourdough bread are all hobbies she loves.
