Stephanie believes education should never end in the mental health field, so she continues to stay
involved in up-to-date research, professional organizations, and provides continuing education
training to other clinical professionals in the field focused on OCD, anxiety, faith-based
counseling, and addiction.

Stephanie has worked in various treatment settings including one of the most well-known eating

additionally trained hundreds of clinicians throughout the state of Arizona in identification of
OCD and effective ERP treatment.

Stephanie is dedicated to helping every individual walk away from their experience feeling
confident, supported, and equipped with skills for the remainder of life. When not at work,
Stephanie soaks up as much time with her growing family surrounded by her 3 dogs and the
beautiful animals surrounding north Scottsdale. She is Midwestern at heart—some young clients
walk out of session saying “golly jeepers” just like her.
