Stephanie can paint pictures with terms like 'course correction' making intangible moments understandable. She radiates positivity and is the best therapist I've ever had!

• THE GIFT FOR YOU - My approach includes a curated curriculum of resources including experiential activities and rituals to anchor you in your power. I've spent a lifetime (and a small fortune) collecting material specifically for women who are non-conformist. You won't find these on a top ten list for trauma anywhere! I see Tik Tok videos about "must read" books to heal trauma--according to AI. The top ten lists are nice for beginners but if you need to go deeper, let's talk. The lived, intersectional experience of a woman who has healed and treated hundreds of women personally, is vastly richer than the recommendations of books mainly authored by men. The difference is like a great restaurant with reliably good meals and a one-of-a-kind, eight course meal prepared with finesse and served at the Chef's table.

• BECOMING CONSCIOUS - Together we will deep dive into the unconscious using psychodynamic therapy to mine maladaptive patterns with a matrix of powerful, embedded restraints that hold you down like weights! Looking at dream imagery, intuition, symbolism, spirituality and archetypes we will break the chains of trauma creating contentment and emotional agility. Psychoanalysis from a feminist perspective includes customization and collaboration to formulate a completely individualized treatment plan. We may choose to include techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gottman Method, Jungian, Art Therapy and Attachment Theory.

• INTERSECTIONALITY - Once illuminated, the unconscious is viewed with a macro perspective in order to see healing differently–decolonized from a collective vantage point. We will explore generational and historical trauma and institutional betrayal. Looking at material from experts across disciplines will illuminate how these mental health symptoms or “restraints” confine you. Then we'll BREAKTHROUGH. I will help you understand how our culture contributes to “pathology” as much or more so than our personal history. Thus, you will begin to move through society with the clarity and tools to counter negative influence. 

For those looking for an avante garde therapist with revolutionary senseability, I provide inimitable support. Learn more about my lived experience and over 16 years treating trauma. My carefully curated blend of evidenced based methods are ingenious and unconventional. I treat complex trauma in sophisticated women who think outside the box–the renegades, artists, mavericks, entrepreneurs and eccentrics!
