Mental Health Counselor

(she/her)

Hi, I’m Stephanie. I am a Seattle-based therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, and stress counseling for teens and adults seeking support through life’s ups and downs.

People come to therapy for all types of reasons; sometimes it’s easy to name - a career change, low mood - and sometimes it’s not. Sometimes you just feel off, need a new perspective, or simply someone to listen.

I offer a safe, empathetic, judgement-free environment in which together, we can explore challenges like:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

  • Depression and low mood

  • Identity and self-worth

  • Life transitions and major changes

  • Relationship patterns and dynamics

  • Climate anxiety

I bring a warm, genuine presence to counseling. I value connection and have an incurable curiosity about people and the world around us. Sessions with me are more like a conversation than a formal, structured process - relaxed, exploratory, and moving at whatever pace feels right for you. There is no “right way” to do therapy, and no pressure to perform or be anything except yourself. You are the expert on your life, so my goal isn't to have all the answers, but simply to walk with you as you find yours.

About Me

I hold an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University in Seattle and a BA in History from the University of Washington. As a native to the greater Seattle area, I feel a deep connection to the PNW and all it has to offer.

Prior to counseling, I spent 15 years working in corporate environments. I learned that you can succeed on paper, but struggle underneath. I know what it’s like to push through relentless deadlines and to carry stress that never quite turns off. This experience gave me an appreciation for how heavy life can feel when you’re struggling – whether that weight comes from a demanding job, a difficult period of life, or simply the quiet sense that something is missing. If you can relate, I can help.
