About me, Dr. Stephens

I applaud your resilience and determination in navigating the path to finding a counselor who resonates with your unique needs.

I was inspired to enter the field of mental health because of my cousin and the struggles he has experienced as an individual on the Autism Spectrum. My desire to advocate for him and for others instilled a passion for understanding human development and mental health that led me to become a counselor.

I pride myself in multicultural counseling, my allyship with the LGBTQ+ community, and helping the neurodivergent.
