Existentialism
For change to occur, we must resource the nervous system in a healthy way to process emotions and feel safe in our bodies. Culturally many of us have been taught to process emotions cognitively and with rationalizing the 'why' of events. However, this doesn't calm our nervous system; in fact, where this way of coping may have served us well at one point in our lives, it may now make the struggle to manage overwhelming emotions harder. Therapies like somatic awareness and brainspotting help to create new neural pathways to feel safe and change how we made meaning of events and core wounding.
We believe change occurs when we allow the body to communicate implicit understanding and meaning-making in ways that verbal, linguistic, external processes cannot reach. If you want to understand the ‘why,’ use your mind. If you want to heal, go to the body.

As a trauma-competent and trained Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP), Stephanie is well-versed in the complexities of identity development, particularly in twin identity development, as well as in addiction, family and relational dynamics, childhood trauma, domestic violence, emotion regulation, somatic experiences, and grief. Her approach is grounded in attachment theory and nervous system regulation, incorporating somatic, body-based techniques for release of stored trauma and unprocessed emotions, while also using a culturally sensitive perspective to deeply understand and support her clients.

Alyssa/$75 session
Alyssa is a Master's level intern in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, focused on helping clients uncover their inner resilience and find meaning in life’s challenges. Using body-based techniques and emotion-focused therapy, Alyssa's approach helps clients feel safe and grounded in their bodies so they can process emotions more effectively. Rather than avoiding or suppressing feelings, clients can allow themselves to safely experience emotions in a contained and controlled way. This allows clients to release stored emotions and live a life outside of their coping. She specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, substance abuse, and provides support for the LGBTQ+ community.
