As an LPCC psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist, and certified life coach, I use an integrative approach to accompany you on your journey of self-discovery. Despite what you've been through, I'm here to help reveal your truest self.

“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.”
