If you’re here, chances are you’re someone who holds a lot. You think deeply, care deeply, and work hard to keep things steady. You push through even when exhausted, and that’s not working for you anymore. You may be high-functioning on the outside and quietly overwhelmed on the inside. I work with people who learned to survive by being capable, agreeable, or “good,” and who are ready for something gentler.
I don’t believe people need to be “fixed.” Nervous systems need safety, time, and the right kind of support to do what they already know how to do: heal. So many of us are completely drained of energy after dealing with the world being on fire on top of our mental health conditions, financial stress, all the -isms, queerness, neurodiversity, upbringing, and the harsh realities of our world. I want to help people regain their energy, thrive, and live vibrant, colorful lives.
Turning “What’s Wrong With Me” into “Oh, that makes sense.”
I’m Stephanie (she/her). I work with adults who learned to survive by being agreeable, capable, and really good at ignoring their own needs. If you’re exhausted and still trying to be “good,” you’re in the right place.
I’m a fat, queer, ADHD woman who has done my own deep healing work. I’m a homebody and introvert who loves talking to people one-on-one. I love finding comfort in my body (cuddling is the best), compassionately allowing myself to learn new things on my own timeline, I get fixated on things in true ADHD fashion, and I am currently all about my pet frogs: Maeve, Rue, and Hex. I know what it’s like to over-function, doubt your worth, and feel like rest has to be earned. I don’t bring this up because our experiences are the same — they aren’t. I bring it up because I believe therapy works best when power is transparent and humanity is welcome.
Sessions are collaborative, curious, and paced with care. You don’t have to tell your story perfectly or know where to start. Come as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.

Bringing warmth, curiosity, and hope to the hard work of healing.
Vibrance Counseling is a trauma-informed therapy practice designed to help people move beyond survival mode and reconnect with themselves. I chose the name Vibrance because healing isn’t just about managing symptoms or getting through the day. It’s about slowly returning to a sense of aliveness, safety, and self-connection. You’re allowed to be human!
More than surviving. More than coping.Vibrance.

This space was created intentionally for nervous systems that have been on high alert for a long time. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or chronic self-doubt, therapy here is about more than coping strategies. It’s about helping your body and mind feel safe enough to soften. We create enough safety for your body to recover from the constant stress, breathe, and come back online — so life can feel fuller, steadier, colorful, and more like yours again.
Sessions are collaborative, connecting, curious, and paced with care. You don’t have to know where to start. Come as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.

Maybe you've spent years navigating life by doing what you're supposed to do, taking care of everyone else, and pushing through whatever comes next. Therapy is a chance to stop navigating on autopilot. Together, we'll untangle what's been keeping you in survival mode, reconnect you with yourself, and discover what becomes possible when you trust yourself a little more.
You don't have to know where you're going. You just need a place to begin.
