Professional statement

I provide online therapy for adults and professionals seeking support for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and personal growth. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and offer telehealth therapy in Florida. Providing services in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

My clients are often high-functioning adults and professionals who manage demanding careers, relationships, and responsibilities — but feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and goal-oriented, designed to help you gain clarity and build skills that improve daily life.

Stephanie's works collaboratively, tailoring approaches to your unique needs with evidence-informed methods that produce results — not just relief. Sessions are goal-oriented, and structured. When clients first start therapy, we establish a strong bond and create a safe space for you to process complex emotions. We look at your most immediate concerns and explore your past life experiences and how they impact you now.

With over 10 years of experience, Stephanie works with clients to help move them beyond survival and towards thriving. Specializing in supporting professionals, high-functioning adults, and motivated individuals who want measurable progress in their emotional life, stress tolerance, relationships, and self-understanding.

Stephanie is passionate about her work and provides an empathetic and supportive space for clients to work towards feasible solutions that work for them.

Currently only offering telehealth appointments.

Message to clients

I Specialize in: Anxiety & stress management, Life transitions (career, relationships, identity), Women’s mental health, Cultural & identity concerns, Emotional regulation & confidence building. I integrate CBT, solution-focused therapy, and multicultural approaches to help clients develop insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies. Sessions are tailored, efficient, and focused on real-world application.

Clients will begin with scheduling a FREE 15-minute phone consultation. During this consultation we will discuss your therapy needs, conduct a brief clinical assessment to ensure your treatment needs will be adequately met, and provides you with an opportunity to get to know me and ask me any questions you may have. Once this step is completed, we can begin regular sessions.
