I specialize in working with individuals aged 17 and up, addressing challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, PTSD and self-discovery.
Life is a complicated journey, filled with twists and turns. It's okay to feel uncertain, and reaching out for support can be a courageous step. I am here to meet you where you are and assist you in navigating towards your envisioned destination. I am more than a therapist; I am a guide, advocate, and supporter on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to uncover strengths, identify challenges, and pave the way for personal growth. Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply navigating the complexities of life.

We can't change society (immediately) but we can come to understand the negative effects it's had on us whether that be a distorted self-image, issues with our gender or sexuality, anxiety and depression, etc.
It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -Krishnamurti Although things are getting better in some regards, outdated societal pressures and norms, as well as modern technology and newly implemented ways of living are weighing heavy on many of us. Anxiety is at an all-time peak, addiction continues to climb and although we have more comforts than at any time in history, we are increasingly unhappy. If you're feeling the strain of this, want to connect to something deeper within yourself, or are finding yourself more dysregulated than ever (with all the associated difficulties), let's connect.

I mainly work with individuals who experienced traumas and/or facing challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief.
Every one of us can encounter stormy weather as we sail across the ocean of life and feel overwhelmed with uncertainty, anguish, and sorrow. When you connect with me, I am committed to meeting you in the thick of the storm and working alongside you to move towards healing. My approach centers around building a safe compassionate relationship with you first. Within this relationship, we can work with your mind and body, exploring areas like the effects of trauma on our nervous system, how to regulate, and what it takes to live in harmony with your hopes and values. I primarily draw from Narrative Therapy, Somatic approaches, and ACT.

You're worthy of joy, love, confidence, and strength. You may feel alone, broken, stressed, hurt, and stuck right now. Trauma, anxiety, depression, poor communication skills and unhealthy behaviours should not get in the way of work, school, or relationships. I know you feel unsure, awkward, or intimidated about reaching out to a therapist, so you’re very courageous to take this time to explore your options. I encourage you to take the next step to call or email me. I want to support you because you're willing to try; you want to grow and to live your best life.

Hi, I'm Stefanie. Thank you for being here. Many people find me when feeling unfulfilled in one or many aspects of their lives; often, the journey from 'here' to 'there' feels overwhelming, uncertain and out of reach. If you can relate, you're not alone and I'm here to help. I most often work with people seeking change in these areas: You feel doubt around who you are outside of what people have told you to be; you feel 'not enough' when you compare yourself to others; you feel isolated and lonely; you feel anxiety or shame around your life stage or habits; or you feel heavy with jumbled thoughts and you don't know where to begin.

Life can be hard. We all go through times when the daily tasks of living seem overwhelming and the joy we used to feel is gone. Many of us try to tough it out. We put on a good face to the outside world but inside we are in despair. If this sounds like you and you're ready to make a change, therapy can help. I work with adults and older teens who are suffering from a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma and career issues.

I work collaboratively and sensitively with whatever issues you feel ready to bring forward. This could include relationship challenges, emotional reactivity, difficulties getting needs met, conflict aversion, poor self-concept, anxiety, depression and trauma. We may spend time exploring the past, but our focus may also remain on present-day experiences. Such work can help you build self-understanding, self-compassion and emotional tolerance. It can help clarify thinking and enhance problem-solving. It is intuitive work – I believe we can start pretty much anywhere, in any session, and eventually get to where we need to go.

Struggles like the ones you are going through are frightening and isolating. It can feel like you are carrying a burden no one else could possibly understand, something that is impossible to put into words, and that feels too overwhelming to face. Anxiety and fear run right through your body and seem to come out of nowhere. Perhaps worst of all, you might be walking around feeling like you have to pretend everything is okay.
