Life is hard. I get it. Sometimes problems show up in your life as one big event that is difficult to get through or life changing. Other times, it’s a series of events, sometimes small, sometimes big, that just weigh you down and keep you struggling no matter how hard you try.

You can’t take it anymore, and you need something different.

DO YOU EVER WANT A DO-OVER?

I know you.

You’re the one struggling to keep up with the demands of your life, looking at everyone else around you and wondering how they are able to do the things that you just can’t seem to get a hold of no matter how hard you try.

You’ve thought about therapy, maybe even explored some therapy websites and gone so far as to pick up the phone to call a therapist and chickened out a time or two (or twelve, or twenty-two).

Maybe you’ve been comparing yourself to others and thinking that you’re overexaggerating your problems. Or it could be that you’re scared to open up all those emotions in front of someone, terrified that they’ll see the real you or will judge you. Or perhaps you’ve already done this rodeo before and still can’t get to the bottom of why you feel so awful, and you’re starting to wonder if healing is even possible for you.

It would be great if you could wave a magic wand and start over, but you can’t do that. You may not have caused the problems that you’re facing right now, but you’re the one who has to deal with them. I don’t say that to be mean; it’s just the truth.

But what if I told you that I know a secret about you? One that other people in your life know, but that you clearly do not...

hey there. i’m stephanie.

This is a space where you can be fully, unapologetically you.

My pronouns are she/her. I’m a wisecracking adventure-seeker, world traveler, and risk taker. Lover of beaches, animals, dad jokes, and bad puns. Daughter, wife, dog and cat mom, friend, honorary aunt, elder caregiver, mentor, and superhero.

I am a firm believer that we are all the sum total of all of our experiences, both positive and negative. And that through the right lens, the painful experiences we’ve had can be turned around and used as superpowers to help us grow. Don’t believe me? Work with me and find out. After all, I am already the hero of my own story, and I know the secret of helping you see that you are the hero of yours.

Contact me to get started.

I dare you.
