About Stephanie

Attachment is one of the most powerful forces we have in the world

As kids, we cling to our parents to know that we are safe, loved, and important. As we get older that can shift to our partners, peer groups, or others in our community as well.

I help people who feel like there’s something getting in the way of them being as close or connected to their loved ones as they want

I believe we all long for deep and enduring connections with important people in our lives and when those relationships have conflict we can be left feeling lost and alone, shutting down or blaming ourselves or our partner (even when we don’t want to).

With couples,

With individuals,

this looks like helping people who are struggling to understand their emotions and how/why those show up in your relationships or prevent you from showing up in the best, most authentic way you can. Whether that’s withdrawing from others, feeling like you have to show up perfectly, or just feeling stuck overall in relationships we can work to change these patterns so you can feel more grounded and connected with those around you.

I work from a type of therapy called Emotionally Focused Couples & Individual therapy,

which gives me a framework to help you and I understand your experiences, emotions, and how that can be impacting your relationships. When we begin to understand the emotions that drive these patterns of disconnection with others we can change how we respond.
