She believes every client is unique and is committed to respecting and honouring each person’s individual experiences and needs. Using a holistic, client-centred approach, Stephanie is a process-based therapist who integrates aspects of mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), attachment-based therapies, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) into personalized care. Whether navigating anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, grief and loss, infertility, relationship challenges, self-esteem and identity concerns, life transitions, or difficult family dynamics, Stephanie is dedicated to providing a safe, compassionate, and supportive space for healing and growth.
