She believes every child has a unique story. “I learn about an individual’s story by exploring
their behavior and past experiences. I’m a keen listener and obtain a thorough history.”
She’s learned that changes in mood, perception, fears, obsessions and anxieties
often point to mental health issues. Therefore, learning about an individual’s story and these
changes are the first step in establishing a therapeutic relationship.

Stephanie received her Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of Virginia, and
her Masters and Post-Masters Nursing degrees from Virginia Commonwealth
University. She studied nursing as an undergraduate at the University of North
Carolina-Greensboro.
