I have been working with Stacey regularly for about two years now. I had never been in therapy before and terrified of what might be involved. At that time, I had serious unresolved self-esteem issues and was suffering from bouts of sever clinical depression that I attempted to alleviate with alcohol. I was terrified that our sessions would involve identifying and painstakingly analyzing all of the reasons that I was basically a pretty horrible person and addressing them one by one. I thought we might fixate on the many reasons for my inability to lead a happy, productive life because that pretty much sums up how I felt about myself at the time. As it turned out, Stacey provided a safe environment for me to honestly address these issues while offering support, emotional validation and professional, objective yet extremely nurturing presence. She identified my worthy, loving, positive attributes because I was incapable of seeing them for myself. Today I am living a much more peaceful, honest and fulfilled life. Stacey showed me that therapy is a journey, not a quick fix. " -m.s.

When I first went to see Stacey, I was really freaked out at the idea of talking to a therapist. I had terrible nightmares that made it almost impossible to function, but discussing the abuse I'd been hiding my entire life was terrifying. Stacey made it so much easier than I would have thought possible, though. She was so sweet. I'm sure I wasn't a very easy person to get to open up in the beginning, but over the years, she has helped me become such a stronger person. A person I can be proud of. Before I went to see her, my biggest concern about therapy was that she would pity me, which I never wanted, and she never once made me feel like I had something to be pitied for. She has a way of pushing me at exactly the right moments, and I've come to rely on her immensely as I continue trying to overcome the effects of the abuse, and what overcoming it means for me. Her adoration of her job comes through so much, and I think her desire to see the best in me makes me want to be the best as well. I would have never been able to be where I am today without Stacey's help. She has made such a huge impact in my life; I have never had anyone believe in me so whole-heartedly as she does. When I talk to her, I don't feel judged, I just feel loved. She's truly an amazing therapist, and I'm so honored to know her. You can't ask for anyone better than Stacey. -BH
