As an alpha male, I'm not always easy trust and slow down long enough to listen well to others. Stephanie has quickly been able to grab my attention and move our conversations in a very productive direction. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional! She is compassionate and very understanding. She listens well and asks very good and measurable questions. Her questions make me think, yet she challenges me to teen counseling myself. I strongly recommend Stephanie!
