When I first started working with Stephanie, I was struggling with conflicts between my daughter and my boyfriend. For two years, I had been pretending that everything was fine, but the stress was taking a toll on me. My daughter was suffering and I didn't know how to help her.

She wouldn’t express her feelings to me; she wasn’t close to me; she wouldn’t trust me.

I came from a culture that sees women as second-class citizens and we are told we should rely on men and please them. This idea has always been playing on the back of my mind and that was playing out in my relationship, too. I thought I needed someone to protect me. I felt insecure and I didn’t trust my own abilities.

Stephanie taught me to trust myself and my intuition. That was key to me. I learned to listen to my heart and finally had the courage to confront my boyfriend about the future of our relationship. In the end, I chose to put my daughter first and prioritize her well-being.

Stephanie also worked with me to help me connect with my body and overcome stress, fears and my panic attacks. She helped me stay present and take control of my body during stressful situations.

Recently, a stressful situation triggered my panic attack again, but I felt so calm and was able to stop it in two minutes. It would had taken 20 minutes before.

What sets Stephanie apart from other professionals I had worked with is her genuine care for me. She goes above and beyond to find solutions and share resources to help me.

Stephanie is full of energy. When I was with her, I felt calm and safe. I felt energized and motivated. Every time I talked to her, I discovered something new about myself.

After working with Stephanie, my relationship with my daughter improved greatly. We are much closer now. She gives me hugs all the time, and she expresses love for me every night. That is enough for me.

It’s good to be a parent; it’s a blessing. We have more power and courage when we are with our child. You give them unconditional love. When you love someone so deeply, you don’t expect anything in return.

Stephanie also helped me see that as an immigrant, I can be successful in this country.

I used to stand on a hill and didn’t know where I was. Now I’m on the top of the hill, and I can see my future very clearly. I know I can create whatever I want in my life.

I have finally found myself. I am enough.

If you're considering working with Stephanie, I highly recommend it. She is brilliant and truly cares about helping her clients. It's a worthwhile investment.
