Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina and holds a Master of Social Work from Florida International University. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Florida with minors in Psychology and Education. In addition to her clinical training, she is a Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, qualified to help families work through conflict and reach agreements through mediation.
Her professional background spans many settings, including work in a mental health clinic serving individuals with developmental delays, hospital and NICU work, respite programs, private practice, and classroom environments. She has also been a full-time stay-at-home parent and worked as a substitute teacher for grades K-5, giving her a perspective shaped by both clinical and real-world family roles.
Stephanie uses a mindfulness and acceptance-based cognitive behavioral approach, integrating techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Her style asks for active participation and collaboration; she often assigns between-session exercises and offers psycho-educational material to increase awareness and teach skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship tension, and life transitions.
Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, self-esteem, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, intimacy-related challenges, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and coaching for professional development. She also works with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation, life purpose, and mood disorders.
Stephanie invites clients to engage in thoughtful exploration and skill-building, guided by a blend of evidence-informed strategies and practical life experience. She closes with a reminder from Vince Lombardi - "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up" - and looks forward to supporting those ready to take steps toward growth and change.
