your nurturing navigator to your way back to you

As a child of immigrants, growing up Catholic, and becoming a therapist – I know that believing we deserve joy, rest, and ease simply because we exist doesn’t actually come easy. Navigating family/cultural values while embracing all parts of ourselves, we sometimes get lost in the sacrifices and lose our sense of home in the process. I love helping people make connections as their authentic selves.

Let's Work Together

Working with Steph feels like:

“I feel all the emotions, honestly!! And it feels so invigorating because I’ve never been more encouraged to listen to myself and give myself permission to feel all the things. It gives me so much space to grow, and “be selfish” but in a way that allows me to give to myself for once.” – Participant

“Seen, heard, supported and hyped! It’s always exciting to know that Steph and I come from similar backgrounds. It’s unfortunately rare to hear that. So when I tell people that I work with someone like Steph they’re usually surprised or wonder how that happened.” -Mia

“comfortable, open, judgment-free, got your back; looking forward to it” – Alyssa H
