Licensed Mental Health Therapist

Stephanie is not accepting new clients at this time.  

My approach as a therapist is grounded in relationships and guided by evidence-based treatment. I believe that, whatever brings you to therapy, support and growth is possible through an experience of unconditional positive regard in a therapeutic relationship and setting.

For more than 20 years, I have worked with clients across the lifespan. From developmental concerns in childhood and transition challenges in adolescence, young adulthood, and parenting, to the unique challenges experienced in later adulthood. I provide treatment for children 8 and older, adolescents, and adults with adjustment challenges, anxiety, depression, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD. I also work with parent/child dyads, families, and couples. Working with clients on identifying and establishing objectives towards individualized or family goals is a foundational component of my practice.

I am trained in several therapy modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical BehaviorTherapy (DBT), and Parent/Child Relational Therapy.   I have a special interest in providing services to the helping professionals, especially those who work with children and adolescents in education or medicine, and to the LGBTQIA+ community.

I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Northern Iowa and my Master of Social Work from the University of Iowa. I have an endorsement in Infant Mental Health and regularly provide reflective consultation and training to infant and early childhood professionals.

I accept Wellmark/BCBS and out of state Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans, Cigna, and Health Partners. Please contact me directly if you have another type of insurance. My self pay rate is $190 for your first appointment and $170 for subsequent sessions.  I do not accept insurance for couples therapy.

If you’d like to schedule a therapy session, or have questions about any services I offer, please use the form on this page to contact me.
