About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. Currently practicing in Idaho focusing on mental health/behavioral challenges, but have also worked in Utah, Kentucky, and Indiana working with challenges related to mental health, behavioral health, addiction, relationships, personality disorders, culture, spirituality, rural life, and homelessness. Some of the therapies which I utilize is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.

I believe that healing and understanding occurs when there is a strong client-counselor relationship which is caring, non-judgmental, and focuses from the client's point of view. I believe in the resiliency of people and the importance of bringing to the surface internal strengths and values which individuals can use to empower themselves with the ability to move forward in their lives. I also focus on the power of connection, and how connecting, whether it be to relationships, spirituality, values, the present moment, nature, or ones-self, leads to healing and growth.

I tried to lose weight for years, nothing seemed to work. After a few sessions with Stephen I lost a lot of weight! I’m no longer weighed down by a job that had taken a toll on my health. I’m not weighed down by a lot of other junk floating in my head, I feel lighter than I have in years. Highly recommend.

Stephen is great! He listens, provides great insight and comes from a non judgmental place. He has really helped me out during the time we have spent working together and would like Stephen to be assigned to me in the future.

He’s the man. Great listener, makes me feel comfortable talking through things I’ve experienced, able to laugh with me and gives me solid practices to improve my day to day outlook on life.
