Stephenie is a child and family therapist in Tucson, Arizona, supporting families from the perinatal period through adolescence. She specializes in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, including perinatal work, and uses child-centered play therapy to help children express what words can't. Alongside her work with kids, she walks with parents through the tender, often hard landscape of raising little ones, helping them tune in to their children's needs and feel more connected.

Stephenie draws on each family's culture, strengths, and interests as a bridge to connection. She is the founder of Amanah Bloom, her private practice in Tucson. Amanah is an Arabic word meaning a sacred trust, something precious placed in our care. It reflects her belief that children are entrusted to us, and that caring for them, and for the people who raise them, is a meaningful responsibility.

Stephenie is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology with an emphasis in Infant and Toddler Mental Health. She is a mom of four, three teens and a toddler, and loves fantasy novels, hiking the desert trails, and cooking and baking for the people she loves.
