You may know that something needs to change without knowing what to do first. Maybe you have been carrying the weight of depression or anxiety for a while, managing well enough until you're not. Maybe something happened that upended everything and you're still finding your footing. Or maybe there is no single event, just a feeling that your life has stopped moving in the direction you want. I'm Stephen an LCSW in Connecticut and I work with adults who are ready to take that first step even if they are not sure what the next ones look like. I've helped adults work through addiction, mood concerns, grief, PTSD, and major life changes. In virtual individual or family therapy, we will build on your strengths and find practical steps toward feeling more like yourself. I believe we all carry a resilience that can be activated. My job is to help you find it.

You deserve therapy that feels personal, practical, and focused on what matters to you. I work alongside you to understand anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, or substance use without judgment. We can explore the patterns shaping how you feel, identify what you want to change, and turn that into manageable steps. As your needs evolve, I adapt our work so sessions stay relevant, collaborative, and connected to real life.

In our first session, I will listen more than I talk. You set the pace. We will get a sense of what brought you here and start shaping a picture of where you want to go. You might

leave with a short-term goal, a practical skill, or simply the relief of having said something out loud to someone who is not already in your life. Together, we will identify what support would feel useful now. You may leave with a clear first goal, a practical skill, or the relief of being heard without judgment. We will build from there, one steady step at a time.
