At Emergent Mental Health Services, we believe that everyone has the ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance.

In addition, Stephanie is able to address the  stigma surrounding mental health in the Hispanic/Latino community. While  being culturally competent, Stephanie can assess, support, and help get  her clients’ life back on track while enhancing their well-being. She is committed to the well-being of all of her clients and enjoys empowering individuals  and bearing witness to their healing and growth.
