Bio:

Hello! My name is Stephanie Jiminez. I’m a Master of Social Work student at San Jose State University with a heart for creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and valued. My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and genuine connection. I believe each person carries their own wisdom and resilience, and my role is to help illuminate those strengths so they can guide your next steps.

Drawing from my background in social services, I bring a down to earth, compassionate style that honors your story and meets you where you are. I have served parents, children, and individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, supporting youth and families during moments of crisis and transition.

I gently invite you to engage in meaningful self-reflection, encouraging deeper awareness that can uncover new perspectives and possibilities. Whether you’re seeking support, clarity, or a place to explore new possibilities, we’ll work together in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and uniquely yours.
