My Therapeutic Style & Approach

Welcome! My name is Stephen.   I understand that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, it is important to choose a counselor that makes you feel comfortable and supported.  My approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, aimed at creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment.  My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights you need to live a more fulfilling, balanced life.

I utilize an evidence-based and holistic approach to helping adult clients struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality disorder, Anger Management, Addiction, Interpersonal Issues, Identity Issues, Grief/Loss, Stress, and ADHD management. My approach to therapy is rooted in Client Centered Therapy. I will incorporate elements of Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I  believe that it is important to provide clients with an environment that promotes genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

My professional background includes community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, substance use rehabs, and private practice.   I am skilled in working with individuals of diverse cultural backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA+ community.
