A young woman with long brown hair sitting on a wooden chair against a plain light-colored wall. She is wearing a black blazer and smiling softly, resting her chin on her left hand with her right arm crossed over her lap.

Hi, I’m Stella!

I believe therapy is about having a space to slow down and make sense of difficult emotions. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. You don’t have to have the answers, I meet you where you are and we work together as you begin to make sense of your experiences and reconnect with your inner strengths.

In our work together, you can expect a space that is warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental. I will meet you with care and respect, while also supporting you in gently challenging patterns that may no longer serve you.

I have completed specialized trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma treatment. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed approach.

When I’m not in the office, you can often find me doing something crafty, trying a new recipe, or spending time outdoors. These small moments help me stay grounded and present, both personally and professionally.

Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you're returning to counseling, it's completely normal to have questions about the process. I offer a free consultation and am currently accepting new clients. I'd love the opportunity to answer your questions, learn more about what you're looking for, and help you determine whether we're a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you.
