White Pine Wellness

Therapist for anxiety and depression in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania

Get off the rollercoaster of emotions, turn your insight into action, and treat yourself more compassionately.

It seems like no matter what you do to "get better," it's just not enough. This rollercoaster of moods and emotions has to end—and you're willing to try something new to turn your insight into actual, real-world changes.

Sometimes you feel so exhausted you can’t get anything done, and sometimes you’re so on edge you can hardly rest. 

You’ve already tried on your own to solve your problems: you’ve read the self-help books, follow the popular therapists on Instagram and TikTok, and know the “right” things to do. You know you’re insightful, but insight alone isn’t shifting things. 

You speak to yourself unkindly, which doesn’t help. You want to have fewer ups and downs, or maybe you’re wanting to change a relationship that your friends say is toxic. 

At this point, you’re ready to try something new.

Hi, I’m Stephanie, a therapist working in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania!

I work with adults in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or the effects of a traumatic past. 

When we work together, we’ll approach the things you’re going through with compassion to help you shift your insight into action. 

I will guide you in shifting your relationship with yourself from one of harsh criticism to one based in flexibility and kindness. 

How I work

I often start with the basics: sleep, rest, grounding, nourishment - always with the intention to feel better, not to meet some external criteria or have an aesthetic influencer routine. I suggest things to experiment with, rather than giving canned or rigid advice. 

We may also work on having better relationships, being less mean to yourself, and getting off the emotional rollercoaster. When we work together, you’ll be in the driver’s seat, and I’ll be in the passenger seat, helping you navigate your way to feeling better. 

My goal is to help you have more good days and to be able to take care of yourself in a more flexible and compassionate way. When you’re feeling crappy, you’ll be able to relate to yourself more kindly. When you feel anxious, you will have simple methods to help yourself feel calmer that work well for you. With others, you’ll understand when to not get sucked into others’ chaos and when it’s time to say “not my circus, not my monkeys.”
