She started her career working in middle schools and has since provided counseling to individuals, couples, groups, and people facing life transitions. Stacey aims to make the first step feel manageable and approachable for anyone who reaches out.
She uses a person-centered style where the client leads and she acts as a guide.

Stacey often helps clients notice how thoughts shape feelings and actions and then work on changing unhelpful patterns.
Common concerns Stacey addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, self esteem, parenting and family conflict, career questions, and coping with major life changes. She also works with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, body image, and postpartum concerns.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling, both from the University of Wyoming. Those academic foundations combine with years of school-based and community work to inform a practical, down-to-earth approach.
People who prefer a friendly, goal-oriented counselor often find her style helpful. She aims to support clients in building clearer thinking, stronger coping skills, and a more hopeful outlook as they navigate change.
How Stacey's Approaches Guide Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy is about following the client's lead and offering support without taking over. It helps when someone wants a collaborator to listen, reflect, and help set personal goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and shifting emotional responses in relationships and attachment, which can be useful for intimacy and connection struggles. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and strengths to move forward quickly on specific problems like career decisions or coping with change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on how things are going.
