Hello! My name is Stephanie - a dedicated Registered Social Worker and advocate. I specialize in addressing the distinct challenges faced by women, the LGBTQ2S+ community, and issues related to mental health and addiction. My expertise includes examining the intricacies of sex and gender, family dynamics, and self- esteem. I approach my work with a deep sense of compassion and empathy, ensuring that each individual feels understood and supported in their journey.
With eight years of professional experience, I have developed a keen interest in the unique experiences of correctional staff, first responders and their families. My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, strengths-based framework that emphasizes feminist principles, empowerment, and resilience. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a solutions-focused framework while fostering a collaborative environment that encourages clients to take an active role in their healing and personal growth. This collaborative atmosphere not only enhances the therapeutic experience but also instills a sense of ownership and responsibility in clients, enabling them to explore their thoughts and behaviors in a constructive manner. By working together, we can uncover patterns and develop strategies that lead to meaningful change, ultimately fostering resilience and a deeper understanding of oneself. I provide an environment that is safe and free from judgment, which encourages personal development and transformation. Starting a new journey can often feel daunting, which is why I invite you to take advantage of a free 15-minute phone consultation. This session will allow us to explore your specific needs and determine how I can best support you in achieving meaningful transformation and personal growth. Together, we can create a tailored approach that empowers you to move forward with confidence. I look forward to connecting with you! |
