I believe therapy is most effective when the clinician presents themselves as the client does-a person with a unique past and personality. When you take out a therapist’s humanity and lived experience, there is no true therapeutic connection and trust from the client. I strive to be both a person and therapist through my conversational, authentic, and collaborative style. I tailor services to a client's needs through a blend of EMDR, IFS/Parts-Work, Polyvagal Theory, and DBT to address not just current symptoms but the root of a your challenges in a more well-rounded way than just talk-therapy alone.

Hello, I'm Steve, a licensed therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and achieve mental wellness. With over 20 years of experience in corporate America and nearly a decade of military counseling, I bring a diverse and rich background to my practice, allowing me to connect deeply with clients facing a wide range of issues. I specialize in treating PTSD, combat-related trauma, military family support, work-related stress, and anxiety.
One of my unique areas of expertise is in cult-related abuse, making me one of the few specialists in this field in the nation. My work in this area has garnered national recognition, including a feature on the Dr. Phil show. I also focus on men's therapeutic concerns, executive and leadership counseling, clergy support, and depression treatment.
My approach to therapy is rooted in creating a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. I blend Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Gottman Method for couples to tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. By integrating these techniques, I aim to foster personal growth, resilience, and lasting change.
In my practice, I prioritize building strong therapeutic relationships and empowering clients to take the lead in their therapeutic journey. Whether you are dealing with trauma, stress, relationship issues, or personal growth challenges, I am here to support and guide you. Let's work together to chart your course to a brighter, healthier future.

Hello. Thank you for the time. Life is quite the journey with many twists and turns that can make you feel stuck in painful experiences while forgetting the beauty that exists. I aim to create a safe, warm, and inviting space where one can discover their hidden strengths to overcome and prevail. There is not one thing or approach that gets a person into recovery or quality of living. Whatever is bringing you to step out of the cage and take notice to the discomfort around takes courage. I believe it’s a privilege to be invited into one’s most raw, vulnerable state and allow another to enter.
