General Psycotherapy
Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. With nearly two decades of experience, I offer a supportive space where we can explore your concerns, understand patterns that may be holding you back, and work toward meaningful change.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults using a blend of EMDR, psychoanalysis, and psychodynamic therapy. This means we won’t just address symptoms—we’ll explore the deeper emotions and experiences shaping your thoughts and behaviors. Whether you're facing stress, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, therapy provides the tools and insight to help you move forward.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy is a space to be heard, to gain clarity, and to build resilience. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, creating a path toward greater emotional well-being and fulfillment.
Eating Disorders and Athletes
Stephanie understands the specific needs that athletes have when they look to recover from eating disorders or disordered eating. She is here to support your individual needs whether you are looking to continue your sport or need help with the retirement process. Eating disorder treatment for athletes focuses on not just our relationship to food, but our relationship to sport and our bodies. Sometimes in early treatment an athlete is forced to stop training and/or competing in order for their bodies to heal. This can be a challenging time for some and the support of a therapist is often helpful. Therapy can help support your emotional needs while recognizing the loss (temporary or not) with your sport and parts of your identity.
It is her belief as a provider that your sport can be part of your eating disorder recovery with the right support in place. For athletes, we can think of eating disorders as an injury. It is helpful to have a mental health provider who is aware of the culture of sport; who can work with you and your team to help you get back on track. As with all injuries, healing is needed and not always linear and she is available to support your mental health concerns during that journey.
Some of the signs to look for in athletes who are struggling with disordered eating:
Overtraining
Obsessive rituals around food
Rigidity in food intake (quantity, time, rules)
Continuing to train or crossgrain when injured
recurrent injuries
Obsessing about training data, details, schedules,
Adding workouts to training schedule
Irritable moods
About Over Exercising
While overexercising isn’t considered an eating disorder itself it can become a compulsion that is similar to patterns of bulimia. Over exercising isn’t always linked to an eating disorder, but it is usually connected to how one feels about their body overall. Sometimes over exercise can be hard to identify as it is normalized and praised in our society. Some key signs to look for are:
Linking food to exercise
The “earn it or burn it” mentality.
Prioritizing exercise over other areas of life to the detriment of those other areas
The need to exercise taking away from ones ability to tolerate their emotions
Using exercise as their only emotional outlet
Rigid ideas about exercise and food
Multiple workouts in one day when not competing in athletic events or multi-sport events.
