Testimonials

We all have different needs when it comes to communicating our issues and receiving help. I am thankful that I found Stephanie because her style and methods were exactly what I was looking for. She understands that part of how I sort through my feelings is by verbally processing my thoughts. Stephanie is always very present in our sessions and I feel that I have her undivided attention at all times. She listens to what is on my mind, often asks questions I have not thought of, and offers new perspectives in which to view situations. She makes her comments and suggestions tactfully and while she may propose new viewpoints, she is never pushy. I really can’t say enough good things about my visits with Stephanie and would highly recommend her services to others.

My 8 year old son was struggling significantly with anxieties this past year. I’ve found Stephanie has helped him to better understand these anxieties, providing him with ways to cope. My son wants to feel better and I believe he listens carefully to what she says. She is easy going, kind and patient. And she communicates well with me on his progress. It’s been a positive experience working with her toward making my son a healthier and happier kid.
