Stephanie has experience working with individuals with presentations such as anxiety disorders, depression, stress and adjustment, grief, developmental trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During therapy she is interested in learning about your unique strengths, needs, and goals.
For neurodivergent individuals, please note Stephanie takes the neurodiversity affirming approach in therapy. This approach is grounded in human rights and the social model of disability. Working within the neurodiversity affirming approach means we seek to affirm and celebrate your neurotype and help you access the right type of support. This may look like changing the environment to reduce distress, supporting your communication needs, educating others to better understand / support you and teaching you skills that align with your individual goals.

She holds full registration and endorsement as a clinical psychologist from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and is a member of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA).
