Hi there, I'm Stephen!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges related to work stress, relationship issues, race & cultural identity, social-emotional health, cultural adjustment, and pandemic-related anxiety. My philosophy revolves around "Enriching the lives of individuals by promoting an everyday lifestyle of social-emotional well-being."

My approach

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Strength-Based and Client-centered principles. I believe that you hold the key to your own growth and healing. My role is to assist you in developing and utilizing your innate skills and strengths to achieve your desired outcomes.

My focus

I work with individuals who are seeking support for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, family conflict, grief, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, self-esteem, and stress management. I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself and explore your unique experiences.

My communication style

In our sessions, you can expect me to be an attentive and empathetic listener. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your values and priorities. Through open and honest communication, we will build a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual respect.

My goals for you

My ultimate goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to cultivate lasting positive change in your life. Together, we will work to enhance your self-awareness, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies that will serve you well beyond our time together.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I will listen carefully to your concerns, gather relevant information about your history and current circumstances, and begin to formulate a collaborative plan for our work together. This initial meeting is an opportunity for you to ask questions, express your hopes and expectations, and determine if we are a good fit to embark on this therapeutic journey together.
