Hi, I'm Dr. Stephanie

With an incredible journey spanning over thirty years in governmental forensic mental health, clinical therapy, and the mental health fields, I've witnessed firsthand the unique challenges faced by individuals from all walks of life.

Throughout my career, I worked closely with struggling youth and their families, identifying a common thread among their challenges—the crucial need for social and emotional skills. This drove me to become a trailblazer advocating for public policy reform.

As a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) expert, I have touched countless lives, empowering individuals to embrace self-acceptance, set meaningful goals, and unlock their full potential. Beyond my professional achievements, I am also an accomplished author, Bible counselor, and teacher.

My faith in Jesus Christ has grown and remains at the core of my worldview, infusing my work, volunteerism, and personal life with moral values and ethics drawn from the teachings of the Word of God.

In the heart of Southern California, my husband and I reside, continuing to inspire others through our actions and unwavering faith. With five cherished grandchildren whom I describe as my pieces of Heaven on Earth, I remain a devoted wife, loving mother, and doting grandmother.
