Something's wrong and you may or may not know why. Either way, you've come here and you're reading this because you need to make a change. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, issues with self-doubt/self-confidence, existential difficulties, difficulties with relationships, or maybe life is great but you'd like it to be better by getting to deeper life issues, I am at your service. I'm looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you better. Let's walk your path together and create the life you want. I have an eclectic style, utilizing CBT/DBT, motivational interviewing, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness-based treatment modalities. No matter what, my aim is to meet you where you are. I work well with many different kinds of people and have worked with people of many different cultures and abilities/disabilities. Although it is not a requirement, spirituality/spiritual practice can be incorporated into our sessions. I am open to suggestion, if needed, and if requested, can provide spiritual guidance, especially regarding regular practice. Belief is not a requirement, and yet that too is something I am comfortable helping you process.

Steve is the first therapist who I've really connected with and felt like I could tell anything to. He's an excellent listener, and I appreciate his honest feedback. Being able to message him anytime is helpful. I know he might not respond immediately, but it's helpful for me to write down my feelings in the moment. Steve is really good about listening and digging a little deeper to help me understand where a feeling or trauma is coming from, even if I am unaware of it. I'm very appreciative of Steve and his work with me.
