I created Worth Healing Group Practice with the vision of building an inclusive and affirming space where people feel safe to show up as their full, authentic selves. I believe that everyone—regardless of background—deserves access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care. My purpose is to challenge the stigma that still surrounds therapy and to provide a space where true healing and transformation can begin.
For me, therapy is a courageous act of self-love and empowerment. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, finding strength in vulnerability, and taking meaningful steps toward growth. I’m here to walk beside you with empathy, intention, and the tools to support your healing journey.
Representation matters deeply to me. As someone who knows what it feels like to search for a space where you truly belong, I’ve made it my mission to create that space for others. I want every person who walks through my doors to feel seen, heard, and valued—especially those who have never had that experience in therapy before. What started as a dream has become a living, breathing community. I lead Worth Healing with deep gratitude, grounded in love and a steadfast commitment to serving those who need it most.

Our Mission
Therapy that honors who you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going.
Stephanie here! As a therapist, I aim to help clients build healthy relationships with themselves and others by promoting authenticity, empathy, self-love, boundaries, and awareness to facilitate positive, lasting change.
I am a first generation Latina and proud to pave the way for future generations, working through intergenerational traumas. My passion for empowering and uplifting underserved communities drives me to strive for excellence in everything I do.
I have a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from California State University San Marcos with a concentration in Mental Health. I have experience working with diverse groups and provide therapy in both English and Spanish.
I focus on establishing a natural and accepting setting where clients can freely express themselves, work through their challenges, insecurities, and fears.
