Stephen has really helped me in so many ways. He is somebody I can open up to about my relationship challenges and has offered a variety of resources to help me gain a better perspective and ideas on how to improve my situation.

Steve is an amazing therapist and a great guy! He helped my boyfriend and me improve our communication skills. When I first started therapy with Steve, the relationship with my boyfriend was rocky and I had high levels of anxiety, but after working with Steve, my anxiety significantly decreased and I can confidently say that my relationship with my boyfriend is better than it has ever been! 10/10 recommend

Steve is the best! He knows and understands how to communicate with people and understands what you are going through. I like the fact that he gives other ideas then just thinking about things. He sends messages all the time of encouragement.
