Dare for More. Your journey from pain to connection starts here.
Steph is a seasoned relationship therapist dedicated to helping high‑achieving couples and individuals build stronger, lasting connections. She co‑owns Alternatives Counseling with her wife, Dr. Darcy Sterling, and is currently pursuing a specialty in Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration (PHRI).
What She Does
- Couples Therapy: Guides partners from pain to connection by refining communication and deepening emotional bonds with evidence‑based Imago Dialogue.
- Individual Support: Integrates EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to process past trauma and clear emotional roadblocks, using Imago‑inspired exercises to strengthen empathy and dialogue.
- Conflict Navigation: Provides practical tools for navigating challenging conversations, so clients can move from tension to understanding with confidence.
Even the most ambitious individuals can find it challenging to balance thriving careers with healthy, fulfilling relationships. Thriving in love—and in life—requires more than chemistry; it demands intentional skills most of us never learned. Steph equips you with evidence‑based strategies—grounded in Imago Dialogue—to repair, reconnect, and sustain intimacy so you can flourish both personally and professionally.
In addition to her work with couples, Steph supports individuals in applying these same skills to family, friendships, and workplace dynamics. She integrates EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients process past trauma and overcome emotional roadblocks. Through her PHRI (Psychedelic Harm Reduction & Integration) training, Steph is learning how to apply innovative approaches to help clients integrate psychedelic experiences into sustainable, life‑affirming change. She’s eager to begin bringing PHRI principles into her practice and supporting clients on their transformative journeys.
