About Stacy

Where compassion meets structure, my practice delivers therapy that is immediately usable and evidence-based. I bring extensive experience across settings and populations such as children, adolescents, transition-age youth, adults; justice-involved clients; foster care/TAY; LGBTQ+ and culturally diverse communities. My work centers on integrated care for co-occurring disorders, treating mental health and substance use together rather than in silos. Clinically, I draw on DBT (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness), CBT/CBT-p, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based addiction treatment, using harm-reduction or abstinence pathways aligned with client goals. Collaboration with caregivers, schools, courts, and medical providers ensures coherent, systems-aware care. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, I focus on strengthening autonomy, competence, and relatedness so skills hold outside session. Common concerns include co-occurring disorders, substance use/recovery, bipolar I/II, schizophrenia, trauma and complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, anger/impulse control, sleep disturbance, and family/relationship conflict. Expect clear plans, weekly skills practice, and routine outcome check-ins.
