Her person-centered and trauma-informed approach blends CBT, mindfulness, and culturally responsive care. Whether you’re processing loss, struggling with self-doubt, or learning how to set boundaries, Stephanie brings warmth, patience, and insight to every session.
As a proud Mexican-American and first-gen therapist, she understands how culture, identity, and spirituality shape the way we view healing. Her sessions are collaborative and grounding, designed to help you reconnect with your voice and feel more whole in your everyday life.
"Grief doesn’t have a timeline. I’m here to hold space for all that you’re feeling."
