Effective therapy tailored to you.

Hi, I’m Estepha.

I am here to help
you move forward.

I believe that a personal approach moves you forward, towards your goals and your dreams.

I create a detailed, step-by-step treatment plan just for you using research-proven, evidence-based treatment practices to ensure you or your loved one are progressing at every single session.

To ensure you’re making progress, I track your symptoms regularly and chart your progress with you.

Instant online scheduling and online therapy options ensure that logistics and voicemails get out of the way of your progress.
