Room for what you're carrying
You don’t have to have
everything figured out.
Maybe life feels overwhelming. Maybe you’ve felt stuck for a while. We can start with what matters to you, right where you are.
Change, grief & loss
Talk through difficult transitions, changes in relationships, or the loss of someone important—with room for your own pace.
Self-worth & stability
Explore how you see yourself, strengthen coping skills, and work toward steadier ground when emotions or mood changes feel hard to manage.
Meet Steven
Warm. Honest.
On your side.
“You deserve to feel heard and valued.”
I believe feeling that you matter is at the heart of meaningful connection.
My style is relaxed, straightforward, and collaborative. I listen without judgment, and we work together to understand what’s happening and what you’d like to change.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, drawing on DBT skills, solution-focused strategies, and my experience with trauma-focused CBT as appropriate. We’ll choose practical tools that fit your needs, then adjust as we learn what helps.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Walla Walla University in 2015. My background includes outpatient therapy, inpatient care, and helping people navigate life’s difficult transitions.
