I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 30 years experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I am an eclectic therapist who will tailor my therapy to best address the issues that bring clients to therapy.
I believe in clients who have the courage to seek therapeutic intervention in their lives and in empowering those clients to greater self satisfaction with their lives.
I feel strongly about the therapeutic relationship and the changes that people can make in their lives from these relational interactions.
I am a strong believer in non-judgemental therapy that recognizes the rights of individuals as well as the individual's inherent value in this world.

Stephen has a great energy and he has been an excellent listener. He responds to my comments to ensure that he understands my point correctly and gives perspective, support and feedback whenever possible. I very much appreciate your work with me Stephen!

Written on Feb 16, 2024 after therapy with Stephen for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Stephen has listened to me and provided me with a bunch of tools that I can use in everyday life to overcome my breakup and move on with building a better life for myself.

Written on Oct 25, 2022 after therapy with Stephen for 3 weeks on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Stephen is amazing. He's very patient and remembers everything we talk about. I don't feel like he has to read his notes to remember who I am. He genuinely cares about my mental health and even has gone so far as to provide guidance outside of his nornal job title. I'm so grateful to have him to help support my healing process.

Stephen approaches every session intent on listening and intent on understanding. He does not offer judgement nor does he make you feel unworthy despite the suggestions of society. His strategies are applicable and once committed, you will begin to open doors into yourself that you never knew were there. He’s a brilliant therapist second to none.
