Right from the start, Steven let me know there was no linear way to tell my story. They were really good at picking up on moments within my unconscious and conscious dialogue about what’s been going on in my life, and they assigned me thoughtful homework to go along with it. So far, this has only been the first appointment, and I’m very curious to see where this will lead. They’ve been great so far.

Steven is amazing! He's affirming and empowering. He gives me self-work , which encourages me to work at the established therapy goals outside of our scheduled appointments. Steven is a reliable communicator who monitors my progress throughout the week, not just at our scheduled meetings. I have made a lot of progress since meeting with him, and I would highly recommend him for anyone else seeking therapy.

My experience with Steven has been very positive. He gives me the hour to talk about anything that I want. Steven listens and validates my thoughts and feelings. I never feel bad or cautious on expressing what is on my mind. He is not afraid to give me any feedback that I need to hear. Steven provides me with ideas and questions to take with me and ask myself to make me a better person. I believe that he cares for my well being and really wants to help.

Steven is incredibly warm and kind. I genuinely feel heard and seen at every appointment. This has been a life-changing experience for me in therapy thus far and a main part of that is due to Steven’s approach.

Steven creates an atmosphere of understanding and peace. In our first appointment a specific issue was addressed with tools necessary to help me navigate similar situations in the future. Anyone choosing Steven will feel heard, seen, and walk away with a game plan to be even more of your best self.

Steven is caring, doesn't pass judgement, and it feels as though he truly cares about me as a person. I feel like I can tell him anything and he always will relate it back to goals and systems we are working on together. He helps me feel seen, heard, and helps me think in new ways.

I have had several therapist in my life that always seems to miss the mark or create an environment that I don’t feel too safe in. Well my first session with Steven set the bar as it was all about me and where I needed to go. From day 1, Steven has used various methods to engage me into seeing myself on the road to healing. I learned tools to calm myself, obtained readings to dig deeper and feel confident with them as the facilitator to my self! Coming from a social worker background it’s always hard to find a therapist that can support my journey. Steven is great and I’m so happy with where I am from our work together.
