(he/him)
Hello! My name is Stefan and I am a passionate and dedicated clinician providing support to clients from various backgrounds. Whether you're experiencing difficulties with motivation, unhappiness with your current predicament, or struggling with overthinking, I approach our work together from a place of immense compassion. I truly value the impact of having a space that allows you to freely express your emotions, thoughts, and to reflect on your life experiences.
During our first session together a major priority I have is explaining what the therapeutic process is like, and exploring what you specifically need from a therapist. At your pace, I then like to hear more about what prompted you to reach out as well as learn more about who you are/your life experiences. And of course, questions will be answered. It's important that you feel comfortable and informed about the process.
My greatest strengths include the warmness and authenticity that I convey to all of my clients. I also maintain an openness to receiving feedback and hearing what you need in order to feel comfortable.
I have worked well with clients who seek a supportive and non-judgmental space. A majority of my experience has been with clients from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, as well as clients that are apart of the LGBTQ+ community.

I have found CBT to be especially helpful to clients struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management issues, and low self-esteem. I have been trained in CBT since the start of my clinical experience during graduate school. I have also attended advanced training seminars.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Like CBT, this approach has been especially helpful for similar challenges. I have been trained in ACT since the start of my clinical experience during graduate school.
EMDR
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients in reprocessing traumatic and distressing experiences that may be leading to current difficulties.
