Meet Stefanie
Meet Stefanie
Hello and welcome, I am Stefanie and I am passionate about providing ethical and holistic therapeutic services to people in my local community. I am the founder of Evoke and have been a social worker for over 20yrs in a wide variety of settings.
At Evoke I provide evidence based client-centered therapy for a wide range of presentations. I take a non-judgmental approach to therapy with a strong focus on establishing a therapeutic relationship. Therapy is tailored to empower clients to start their healing journey at their own pace.
I believe our minds and bodies are intimately connected and take a holistic approach to mental and physical well-being. I regularly practice yoga and mindfulness recognizing the power that comes with the ability to slow down and be present in each moment.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a gentle and effective way to help heal emotional wounds, often in less time than you might expect. Just as our bodies can recover from physical trauma, our minds can heal from psychological trauma too. If you’re struggling with distressing memories, anxiety, or past traumas, EMDR could be the key to finding relief and reclaiming your peace of mind. As a local therapist, I’m here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore this transformative therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a unique and holistic approach to healing and self-discovery. It views the mind as a complex system comprised of various “parts” or subpersonalities, each with its own emotions, beliefs, and roles. IFS helps you understand and harmonize these inner parts, fostering self-compassion and balance. It’s like becoming the compassionate leader of your own internal team. Whether you’re grappling with inner conflicts, past trauma, or a desire for personal growth, IFS can guide you toward a more harmonious and authentic self.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a powerful and practical approach to improving your mental well-being. It’s like a trusted toolkit for tackling issues like anxiety, depression, and negative thought patterns. Instead of dwelling on the past, CBT focuses on the here and now, helping you develop strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. If you’re ready to take steps towards a more positive and fulfilling life, consider CBT.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a compassionate and transformative approach to finding peace and purpose in your life. It’s all about embracing your thoughts and feelings, even the difficult ones, and using them as a stepping stone toward personal growth and meaningful change. Instead of struggling against the currents of life, ACT helps you learn to surf the waves, adapting to challenges with resilience.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a compassionate and empowering therapy that can help you find balance and build a life worth living. It’s like a toolkit for managing overwhelming emotions, improving relationships, and developing effective coping strategies. DBT blends acceptance and change, teaching you to accept yourself while working toward positive change.
Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness Training is a transformative practice that cultivates awareness, presence, and inner peace. It’s like a mental gym for your well-being, teaching you to pay attention to the present moment without judgment. Through mindfulness meditation and exercises, you can reduce stress, enhance focus, and develop emotional resilience. Whether you’re seeking relief from the hectic pace of life, managing anxiety, or simply aiming to live with greater intention, mindfulness training offers a path to a calmer, more centered you.
