I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship -Alcott

Named after my favorite beach back home, Refuge Cove in Ketchikan, Alaska, my goal is to provide you a place to find refuge, a safe shelter, where you can show up authentically and vulnerably. A place where you will find support, someone to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey to pursue healing.

About

My name is Stephanie and I’m a born and raised Alaskan. Originating from the SE, I now reside in south central Alaska and love it, although let’s be honest, mountains will never replace the ocean!!! I am a licensed clinical social worker and am venturing into part time private practice. I grew up on the sea engaging in both recreational and commercial fishing with my family. Being on the ocean, beach-combing the rocky beaches of southeast, and finding treasure in tide pools are some of my favorite self care activities and so, Refuge Cove Counseling was born. I strive to provide my clients with a safe refuge as they learn to sail their ship through whatever storm comes their way. I want to be a safe place to pursue healing and to be someone who can join you on your journey. ​ The majority of my career has been spent working in trauma, crisis intervention, homelessness and anti sex-trafficking efforts. I also have spent some time working with disabilities and early intervention. My professional experiences, as well as my personal experiences of pregnancy loss and anxiety, have inspired me to begin pursing my certification in perinatal mental health where I hope to gain the educational and professional expertise of postpartum care. I hope to create a safe space in my practice for mothers and their partners to come for support & healing as they walk through the journey of infertility, pregnancy/child loss and the trauma and anxiety that comes with these experiences.
