More about Stacey
- 2 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that people make sense in the context of their experiences. I create a space where clients feel emotionally safe, seen, and respected, especially those who have experienced invalidation or harm in past relationships or therapeutic settings. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship first, as trust and connection are often the foundation for meaningful change. My work is strengths-based and collaborative, and I view clients as experts on their own lives, working alongside them to set goals that feel achievable and meaningful.
