Offering evidence-based, trauma-informed mental health therapy and career/educational counseling.
Thank you for exploring my web page and getting to know more about me. I have been an educational, career, and personal counselor for 25 years, and this step of determining the right connection and fit with a therapist is important for your growth, potential life transitions, and healing.
Early in my career, I remember attending a national conference a few months after 9/11, and the keynote speaker touched on something that I have found to be profoundly important. He said—during times of change, crisis, or conflict—we go deeper and we go higher.

I believe this deeper and higher philosophy is core to engaging in a deeper exploration of ourselves and our values. Whether you are seeking mental health/individual therapy, exploring career/educational directions, or evaluating personal/professional identities, I will walk alongside and support you in working through barriers and conflicts while also celebrating with you on your wins!
PS - the tree logo you see at the top of this page was designed with this deeper and higher outlook in mind. Read more about it on the "About Stephen" page.
If any of this strikes a chord, I invite you to explore my website and learn more about me and my approaches to therapy. I wish you well in your journey of self-discovery!
