About Steffanie

I’m Steffanie and I’m excited that you have found my bio. I’ve always loved working with people to help them reach their goals and strengthen the parts of themselves that bring them the most satisfaction and joy. I received my BA from the University of Wisconsin at Madison where I studied psychology and my master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University. I am Licensed Clinical

Mental Health Counselor, National Board-Certified Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist and Certified in the Treatment of Anxiety in Children, Adolescents & Teens. 

As your therapist, it is my job to support, validate, and help provide insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships with others. Throughout our time together, it is my hope that distressing thoughts and feelings that provoke symptoms such as depression and anxiety will decrease and that you will find yourself empowered and strengthened by your personal growth. As you evolve in therapy, we will also work to integrate your new sense of self into finding meaning in your work, enriching your personal life, and deepening your relationships. 

Throughout our work, you can expect to have my undivided attention, support, and compassion. You, or your child will never have to feel alone on their therapy journey. Although I am person centered, I believe that we are also shaped by our environment. Your story, your pain, and your history are yours alone and there is no one size fits all approach to therapy. We will work collaboratively based on your goals to create a treatment plan from a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-based therapy, somatic therapy, and expressive therapies. I believe we all have untapped potential within to create the life we want and deserve.
