My Specialties

I'm Stacy.

I'm here to help you tap into that inner wisdom that’s waiting just beneath the surface. You’ve likely been searching for a sense of control or a way to feel better in your day-to-day life. And guess what? You already hold the keys to your own success. My role is to walk alongside you, help you unlock those doors, and offer real support when challenges feel overwhelming. Together, we’ll figure out what’s holding you back from living a fulfilling and enjoyable life—and work on moving past it.

It's all about results, not sugarcoating.

Therapy with me isn’t about fluff or grand promises. It’s a relaxed, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I’m warm, direct, and not afraid to mix in a bit of humor when it helps. Think of it as a partnership: you bring your hopes, fears, and goals; I bring the tools and evidence-based strategies to help you see tangible progress. If you’re ready to dig in and create meaningful change, schedule an appointment or reach out today. Let’s get started on building the life you’ve been envisioning.

How I can Help:

My approach to therapy is all about tapping into your inner wisdom. Together, we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, map out a clear path forward, and give you the tools to handle whatever life throws your way—now or down the road. It’s like discovering a hidden superpower: once you access it, you’ll have the freedom to stop overthinking and start living the life you truly want.

With my goal-oriented therapy, you’ll find long-term change by getting to the root of your challenges, finding relief from painful past experiences, and regaining control over those intense emotions and anxious thoughts. You’ll learn how to improve relationships and live authentically, so you can finally say goodbye to second-guessing every move you make.


Does it feel like you're constantly under pressure to succeed?

You hold yourself to high standards but live in fear that one wrong step could unravel everything you’ve accomplished. Maybe you keep pushing forward, yet the anxiety of making a mistake keeps you awake at night, causing you to overthink every decision. You show everyone a confident face, but inside, you feel drained from keeping up appearances.

Does it seem like relationships add another layer of stress?

You might feel misunderstood or shut off from others, afraid to reveal your vulnerabilities. It’s tough to connect when you fear being truly seen, so you retreat—sometimes even when you’re surrounded by people. That lonely, disconnected feeling can leave you wondering if genuine connection is even possible.


Where We Go From Here

In therapy, we’ll uncover why you respond to life the way you do. Together, we’ll transform self-doubt into self-understanding and help you step into your own power. Obstacles become stepping stones, and you learn to move forward with confidence. If you’re ready to invest in a future where you feel grounded, relieved, and fully yourself, let’s get started. You deserve the peace and clarity you’ve been looking for.
