RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING

Profile 2.jpg

Hi, I'm Stephanie!

Relationship Therapist

WELCOME! I'm glad you've made your way here! I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist associate and licensed professional counselor associate serving the state of Texas, under supervision of Brianne Blevins, LPC-S, LMFT-S. 

​

I provide counseling/therapy services in person, in Pflugerville, Tx, and virtually. 

MY STYLE is warm and compassionate, but also direct and straight forward. I foster growth by challenging you and help you to hold accountability. I value you as a client and I want you to get the most out of our time together. It takes time to get to the place of being able to notice a pattern or gain insight on your own, I'll help you get there! I help you to see the blind spots, or the unhelpful patterns of behaviors and thoughts that you are unable to see, and explain how they may be impacting you and your relationships.  I have found this especially helpful to couples.

​

As for MY APPROACH, I’m rooted in psychodynamic and relational-cultural theories, which means I think it’s important to take a look back at your childhood, culture, relationships, and experiences to help understand who you are now and how you move through life. This information and understanding helps to lead us as we work toward your goals. Because I don't believe there is a "one for all" therapy model, I integrate other therapy modalities throughout our time as I get to know you and your goals.
