She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California, an AAMFT-approved supervisor, and a certified intuitive eating counselor.

 She began her work as a helper in 2006 and has a diverse professional background including direct clinical care/treatment of adults, children, and families in acute, outpatient, and managed care settings. Stephanie’s work in higher education began in 2012 and she has served as a faculty member and administrator in several institutions, in both the United States and Canada, teaching undergraduate and graduate psychology courses and mentoring graduate students on their journey toward becoming a therapist or counselor.

Currently, she works on a contract/consulting basis as the director of a counseling department within an outpatient medical clinic.
