Stacey is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy and Program Development from Loma Linda University.

 

Her background includes extensive work in higher education, serving as Director of Student Wellness, where she built a mental health program, led wellness initiatives, and worked directly with students to enhance their emotional well-being. Stacey has been an adjunct professor for several years, teaching courses in both graduate and undergraduate programs, both in person and online.

She understands that everyone's journey is unique and tailors her approach to meet each client's specific needs.  Using evidence-based approaches, Stacey helps clients develop emotional intelligence, improve communication, and break free from unhelpful patterns.

 

Stacey is passionate about working with high-achieving individuals who excel in their professional lives but struggle with stress, emotional disconnection, or relationship challenges. She understands the unique pressures that come with success and helps clients use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to develop emotional wisdom, improve communication, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life. Through a supportive and practical approach, Stacey empowers high performers to move beyond just "pushing through" and instead cultivate deeper self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful connections.

 

Stacey’s approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique journey, integrating evidence-based treatments to support lasting growth and healing. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, career transitions, or relationship challenges, Stacey provides a safe and supportive space to explore, heal, and grow.
