From Pro Tennis to Healing Minds: Stephanie's Journey in Wellness Transformation

About me

"
As a former professional tennis player who traveled the world, I understand the importance of a healthy mind and body. Over the past 20 years, I have reinvented myself as a mind-body psychotherapist, dedicated to helping people achieve their life goals. My specialties include managing chronic pain, sports psychology, and couples counseling.

Having faced my own challenges with chronic pain, I took time away from my practice to learn how to manage it effectively. Now, I make the most of available medicines and live an active, fulfilling life. With a Ph.D. and master's from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and extensive training from the Gestalt Institute in Cleveland, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to my practice.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Massage Therapist in North Carolina, I offer a unique blend of talk therapy and bodywork. My specialty in bodywork is as a Trager Practitioner, a gentle form of bodywork performed both on and off a massage table. By listening attentively and teaching clients to listen to themselves, I help them understand their deeper experiences and feelings, making meaning of their lives.

Inspired by my own journey to wellness, I am passionate about helping others develop the skills they need to care for their health. My clients continue to inspire me every day.
