Stephanie was born in New Jersey to Cuban parents and spent part of her childhood in Puerto Rico before relocating to South Florida in 2001, where she has lived ever since. Her passion for mental health emerged at a young age, guiding her educational path and eventual decision to pursue a career in counseling. Stephanie has been providing formal therapeutic services since 2020, but her professional journey in the mental health field began in 2015 across a variety of roles. Her experiences have deepened her commitment to supporting individuals in their emotional and psychological growth.
A significant portion of Stephanie’s career has focused on the substance use field, where she has had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences. This work has allowed her to develop a deep understanding of the complex intersections between addiction, trauma, relationship dynamics, and boundaries. These are areas she is particularly passionate about, and she enjoys helping clients explore and address these issues in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Stephanie’s therapeutic approach centers around empowering clients to gain meaningful insight into their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. She works collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge unhelpful patterns, guiding them toward reframing these into more positive and productive ways of thinking. By integrating techniques from Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care, Stephanie helps individuals build healthier coping strategies, regulate emotions, and navigate life’s challenges with resilience.
As an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, Stephanie specializes in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, an evidence-based approach designed to help clients process traumatic memories and emotional distress. She is dedicated to helping individuals overcome past experiences and develop the emotional flexibility to thrive in the present.
Whether you are working through issues related to addiction, trauma, personal conflict, or stress management, Stephanie is committed to walking with you through the healing process and helping you achieve a healthier, more balanced life.
"My approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and a deep respect of each client's unique journey."
