Stephanie is a Christian and holds to the values and principles found in Scripture. While she has a strong desire to integrate theories/strategies of psychology with Christian faith, she recognizes that many individuals prefer not to involve faith in their work towards personal growth. She allows the client to determine what concentration of faith, if any, they prefer in the session.
Stephanie's preferred psychological approach and counseling interventions include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure with Response Prevention and Family Systems Therapy for families & marriages. She highly values client confidentiality, maintaining professionalism, and providing ethical & competent care. Regarding the role as counselor, Stephanie aims to meet her clients where they are, yet encourage and press toward change & growth.
