refuge
/ ˈrɛf yudʒ /
(noun) a place of shelter, protection, or safety.
ARE YOU IN NEED OF REFUGE?
Are you feeling lost, alone, or just plain stuck?
Do you want to feel safe to be your most authentic self?
Are you looking for a place to process your most difficult experiences?
Maybe you experienced adversity in childhood or come from a complicated family system. Maybe you’re acting in ways that are difficult to understand or that are no longer serving you. Maybe you’re trying to understand your many identities and your way of moving through the world. You've come to the right place. Together, we can create a safe and healing space for you to explore new ways of thinking, coping, expressing emotions, and relating to others.
WELCOME!
My name is Stevie, and I’m so glad that you’re here. I believe the non-judgmental, confidential space of a counseling room is sacred and a unique experience all its own. If this is your first time considering counseling, I hope you’ll give it a try! You’re deserving of peace and happiness.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
My approach is specialized to work with adult clients experiencing relational concerns and/or symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder. Topics of discussion often include adverse childhood experiences or abuse, emotionally immature caregivers or those with personality disorder traits, enmeshment and codependency, insecure attachment, Complex PTSD, body image, and dissociation.
GENDER-AFFIRMATION EVALUATIONS
I am able to evaluate whether an individual would benefit from gender-affirming medical changes like hormone replacement or gender-confirmation surgery, or legal changes like name or gender marker changes. Documentation can only be provided when an individual meets criteria for Gender Dysphoria and demonstrates the ability to provide informed consent to such changes. However, it is never my intention to pathologize gender-expansive individuals.
