About Stacey
You Don’t Have to Keep Carrying It Alone
If you’re here, chances are you’ve been carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, grief, or overwhelming life experiences for longer than you’d like. Maybe you’ve learned to function on the outside while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or stuck on the inside.
My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful, lasting healing.
My Approach
I believe therapy should be more than talking about problems—it should help you understand why you’re struggling and provide effective tools to create lasting change.
Using evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other trauma-informed techniques, I tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.
Together, we’ll work to:
Process painful experiences safely
Reduce anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Strengthen healthy coping skills
Improve relationships and communication
Build confidence and resilience
Help you move from surviving to living with greater peace and purpose
Why I Specialize in Trauma
Trauma can affect every part of life - relationships, emotions, self-esteem, work, and even physical health. Healing isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about helping your nervous system feel safe again so you can respond to life with greater confidence and flexibility.
Whether your experiences involve childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, or chronic stress, healing is possible.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable enough to be honest while also challenging unhelpful patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Outside the Therapy Room
When I am not meeting with clients, I enjoy spending time with family, being outdoors, and caring for my fur babies. I believe healing often happens through connection - with ourselves, with others, and with the things that bring us peace and meaning.
