Support for Where You Are — and Where You Want to Go
Life can bring periods of stress, uncertainty, change, and disconnection. Psychotherapy provides a supportive space to understand what you're experiencing, develop practical tools, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.
We provide personalized teletherapy for individuals, couples, teens, and families, with an approach that considers the whole person — your experiences, relationships, emotional well-being, physical health, and the demands of everyday life.
Individual, Couples, Family Therapy
I offer a supportive and caring environment for adults, collaborative partners, adolescents, and university students, featuring dedicated advocacy for the LGBTQ+ and transgender communities, alongside specialized maternal mental health care. My clinical practice is committed to emotional restoration, leading dynamic empowerment workshops, and helping you navigate significant life shifts through a holistically centered, empathetic method.
CLINICAL APPROACH
I approach my psychotherapy work from within an integrative wellness philosophy. I utilize theoretical orientations from evidenced based practices within the framework of four approaches: Mindfulness Based Therapy, Strength Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I work with my clients to first identify what a truly authentic and passion filled life would be like for them – a process that at times is being considered for the first time. This understanding guides and directs our work together as I believe that all of us hold within us our own intuitive guide on how to navigate this life while experiencing our truest self. We can at times find ourselves our own worst enemies as we place defenses (road blocks) in our own way and sabotage our successes. Our work together identifies the reasoning behind such blocks and finds solutions and internal strengths to overcome such obstacles.

Areas of Support
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a specific challenge or transition; other times, there is simply a sense that life, relationships, or emotional well-being could be better.
Areas I commonly work with include:
Depression, low motivation & loss of direction
Relationships, communication & intimacy
Life transitions, aging & changing roles
Identity, belonging & self-acceptance
Grief, loss & difficult life experiences
Building healthier patterns, boundaries & relationships
Stacey's Approach
I approach psychotherapy from an integrative wellness philosophy, recognizing that emotional well-being, relationships, physical health, and the way we experience our lives are deeply connected.
My work begins by helping you identify what a truly authentic and fulfilling life looks like for you. From there, we explore what may be standing in the way—patterns, beliefs, experiences, or circumstances that can leave us feeling stuck or disconnected from ourselves and others.
Therapy is a collaborative process. I believe each of us holds a great deal of wisdom about our own lives, and my role is to help you access that wisdom, understand the patterns that may no longer be serving you, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful and lasting change.
Clinical Approaches
Therapy starts with a conversation
Finding the right therapist is important. A consultation gives us an opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re looking for, and whether working together feels like the right fit.

I encourage you to find a safe, quiet place for your session.
There is no need to download anything ahead of time. I will come out and “get” you from the virtual waiting room.
Your Psychotherapy session will take place in our Virtual Psychotherapy Platform which can be accessed by clicking the link below.
I am utilizing a tele-health platform to work with my clients throughout California. This platform allows my clients to comfortably and safely hold sessions from whatever environment they choose. Some of my clients prefer a quiet place in their home for sessions and others find sitting in nature to be a helpful way to integrate our work together.
You will receive a HIPPA compliant on-line platform link during our scheduled time together. It's easy, no need to download anything ahead of time. If you would prefer to meet outside away from WiFi, FaceTime typically works better. It's entirely up to you.
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Your fee is set on a per session rate that is fixed prior to your first counseling session. Total costs depend upon the number of sessions you choose to utilize.
