Hello, I’m Stephanie, a clinician with deep, hands-on experience and genuine, down-to-earth care. I’ve worked in behavioral health since 2008 across clinical, supervisory, and executive roles, including directing substance use services and leading domestic and sexual violence programs and agencies. I also have experience in residential treatment, outpatient therapy, program development, staff supervision, and community advocacy. I hold a Master’s in Community Counseling and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), a Certified Drug & Alcohol Counselor (CADC), and an Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Practitioner (CDVP).
I meet people where they are and help them find safety, stability, and practical next steps.
I offer trauma-informed, compassionate care for those facing many challenges, with a focus on substance use, sexual assault, domestic violence, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I blend evidence-based tools with strength-based, real-world problem-solving. My goal is to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where I listen first, clarify what matters to you, and build achievable goals together.
