Explore my therapy services and specialization
Postpartum Depression Therapy
LEARN MOREPostpartum depression can make you feel disconnected, numb, or constantly on edge. You may find it hard to enjoy moments with your baby or yourself. In therapy, we focus on easing depressive symptoms, reconnecting with your identity, and building a daily rhythm that feels manageable and nourishing.
Perinatal Pregnancy Therapy
LEARN MOREPregnancy is often described as joyful, yet it can also bring fear, sadness, or uncertainty. Our sessions create space to process those emotions without judgment, while building trust in yourself and confidence for the transition into postpartum.
Postpartum Anxiety Therapy
LEARN MOREIf your mind feels constantly “on” with racing thoughts, intrusive fears, or difficulty sleeping, you may be experiencing postpartum anxiety. Therapy can help you calm the nervous system, reduce intrusive thinking, and create space for rest and connection.
Fertility Therapist for Women
LEARN MOREThe fertility journey can feel heavy and lonely. Together, we work on creating strategies to manage the uncertainty, release guilt, and strengthen communication with your partner and care team. You do not have to carry this chapter on your own.
Health Coaching for Women
LEARN MOREHealth coaching with Sisterhood focuses on the whole you. We combine simple, realistic wellness practices with emotional support and self-compassion so you can feel energized, confident, and balanced in your daily life.
Pregnancy Depression Therapy
LEARN MORENot every pregnancy feels like the glowing, joyful season people talk about. For some women, it can be marked by sadness, emptiness, or constant worry. If this is your experience, you are not alone. In our sessions, we create a safe space to name what you’re feeling, explore gentle coping tools, and rebuild a sense of connection with both yourself and your baby. Therapy supports you in preparing emotionally for postpartum with more steadiness and self-trust.
Emotional Eating Therapy
LEARN MORETurning to food when emotions feel overwhelming is more common than many realize. Emotional eating can bring short-term relief, but often leaves behind guilt or frustration. Therapy helps you uncover the feelings driving these habits, find healthier ways to cope with stress, and rebuild a kinder relationship with your body. The focus is not on dieting, but on creating balance, self-compassion, and freedom in how you nourish yourself.

"I started working with Stephanie at the darkest time of my life. My son was not yet two years old and I was being crushed by the weight of my anxiety and panic, especially at night. I’d always lived with anxiety but it became unmanageable after the birth of my baby. Defeated and feeling like medication was my only option, I decided to take a chance and look for a therapist. Stephanie helped me understand the root of my anxiety and how to implement strategies to cultivate peace within myself but she also taught me how to sit with my anxiety and experience it in a way that felt more manageable to me. I always felt that she genuinely cared for me and was there to answer a text or phone call if I was feeling stuck or afraid (even in the middle of the night!) Stephanie is an amazing therapist but first and foremost an amazing human being. My only regret is that I wish I had found her sooner!"
"Stephanie is very down to earth and authentic. Her approach is simple, yet impactful. As a mom of two under two I was struggling to manage my stress levels and always burned out, finding little to no joy or contentment in my life. I felt like I was failing in every aspect of my life. Stephanie had a way of drawing out my strengths and helped me to grow in ways I could have never imagined. Our work together was meaningful and insightful and I’m so grateful to have met her."
"I loved and appreciated Stephanie’s approach to therapy. She is the right balance of compassionate and empathetic but also direct. Working with Stephanie showed me that there wasn’t anything “wrong” with me. She was committed to supporting me in finding realistic, personalized solutions. I wholeheartedly recommend inviting Stephanie to walk beside you on your healing journey. "
