One Step at a Time

  • Online therapy in CA, NV and VT

  • In-person therapy in Los Alamitos, CA

  • Relationship counseling specializing in inner child healing, co-parenting, family repair, and support for your child with "big feelings"

Do you struggle with staying calm parenting your kids but somehow you find yourself yelling and later feeling guilty?

Do you wish to be a much better parent than your own caregivers but continue to feel stuck, defeated and hopeless?

Does it feel like your family get stuck in the same arguments and you feel so helpless about it that you don't know where to begin?

Let me help you get there.

HI, I’M STEPHANIE.

I'm here to help you restore peace to your home, liberate you from parental guilt and shame, and deepen your connection with your loved ones. Let's walk on this journey together towards calm and meaningful relationships.

I am a relationship therapist who has special interest in helping parents feel more confident and supported in their parenting journey. Together, we break down blocks, past hurts, and patterns that get in the way of feeling closer and bonded with your loved ones. 

I also love working with other individuals who want to do the deep work, heal their inner child, to show up authentically in their life and relationships.

I will create a gentle and safe space for you and I to explore and process how past hurts affect present issues regarding family and relationships.

How It Works

01
Schedule Your
Free Consultation

Your journey begins with a complimentary 15-minute consultation This is a low-pressure way for us to connect, discuss your goals (change to “discuss your hopes for therapy) and ensure that our approach is the right fit for your needs. You can book this directly through our website or by reaching out via phone or email.

02
Complete Your
Intake Paperwork

Once we decide to work together, you’ll receive a link to our secure client portal. Here, you’ll fill out your initial intake forms and share some background information. This allows us to hit the ground running during our first "official" session.

The Initial
Assessment

In our first full 50-minute session, we’ll dive deeper into your story. We’ll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck and begin co-creating a roadmap for your healing—whether that’s focusing on inner child work, parenting strategies, or relationship repair.

Ongoing
Collaborative Therapy

From there, we meet regularly (typically weekly or bi-weekly) to do the deep work. We monitor your progress together and adjust our approach as you gain more confidence, clarity, and connection in your life.

“Love is a constant process of tuning in, connecting, missing and misreading cues, disconnecting, repairing, and finding deeper connection. It is a dance of meeting and parting and finding each other again.”
