Psychotherapy isn't just the work I do—it’s the life I've lived.
For decades, I sought to survive my own traumas and reclaim a birthright I barely dared to believe existed for me (it does—and it does for you, too).
I lived most of my years inside darkness, have known tremendous pain and deep grief, and I know what it is to dance while weeping.
Long before I understood what I was doing, I had already committed my life to reclaiming my humanity—to knowing and accepting all parts of me, uncovering the truths of my existence, and forging a life that is of me, for me.
I had no idea what challenges I would face or the extraordinary places I would go.
I only knew I wanted—desperately—to live.
Stacey is a Level 2 trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist with over a decade of experience practicing the model. She is also a Certified Hakomi Therapist. Her work is deeply experiential—rooted in guiding clients to make discoveries inside themselves and bring healing to the abandoned, rejected, and traumatized parts within.
Stacey specializes in working with neurodivergent, queer, trans, non-binary and trauma-surviving clients who are seeking a more honest, embodied relationship with themselves. She brings warmth, clarity, and fierce honesty—never unkind—to the work of reclaiming wholeness.
Along the winding path that led me here, I stopped at the Integral Counseling Psychology program at the California Institute for Integral Studies—a school that blends Eastern spirituality with Western psychology to support deep, holistic transformation.
Two guiding principles from that program are foundational to my work: that we can only travel as deeply with others as we have gone within ourselves, and that a therapist’s awareness of her own material is essential to a healthy therapeutic relationship.
I am a late identified/diagnosed AuDHD (autistic + adhd) woman and a member of the lost generation. I live with C-PTSD from early childhood trauma.
I am white, queer, cisgender, mid-size, disabled and I use she/her pronouns. I strive to create safety for a diverse community of people in my office and work to educate myself about my own biases, privileges, and internalized ‘isms.’
I am committed to the unending work of unearthing and understanding how white supremacy, anti-Blackness, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, anti-fatness, and classism live inside me—so that I can be a better citizen and companion, have more connections, and live a fuller, freer life.
I want to do less harm. I am committed to being accountable for the harm I do cause, and to working toward restitution and repair.
