Viktor Frankl said, “When we are no longer able to change a situation -we are challenged to change ourselves." He really knew what he was talking about. Each life transition inevitably forces us to navigate "stormy waters." If the challenge has become overwhelming, reach out and give me a call at 423-342-6422. Now seeing clients in Connecticut, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas.

I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, relationship dysfunction, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, trauma, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process.

For those who value efficiency. My approach is direct, strategic, and results-driven.

You are driven, smart, and successful. Something is keeping you stuck. Let’s investigate and make real progress. I work a little differently. Direct feedback, thoughtful goals, and therapy that is intentional, not endless.

If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or behaviors that keep getting in the way of the life you want, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with 18 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives through criminal reentry. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are looking for real change. Over the years, I've learned that no one is defined by their past, and I believe every person is capable of growth when they're given the right support.

I provide personalized mental health care for adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and related concerns. My focus is helping you feel better, think more clearly, and regain control of your daily life.

I offer comprehensive evaluations and medication management through secure telehealth across Texas, with in-person availability in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, with careful attention to effectiveness, side effects, and long-term stability.

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex trauma/CPTSD, social anxiety, relationship dynamics, and workplace stress. I work with both teens and adults to address anxiety, depression, perfectionism, work-life balance, and healing from childhood trauma or complex family dynamics. Therapy can help with overcoming fears in social situations, boosting motivation, reducing excessive guilt, and managing stress related to academics or work as well as address issues such as fears of abandonment, putting others' needs before their own, setting healthy boundaries, achieving personal goals, and processing past trauma.

Our practice has openings for in person and virtual appointments. We believe therapy can help alleviate distress in times of crisis, but is also important as a regular part of wellness. We accept several insurance plans via Headway as well as offer low cost self-pay options.

What I want my clients to know about me is that I genuinely believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. Life can be overwhelming, and many people spend so much time trying to hold everything together that they rarely have a place where they feel fully seen, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to create that space for you.

I approach therapy with compassion, honesty, and collaboration. I don’t believe clients need to be “fixed.” I believe people often need support understanding themselves more deeply, healing from painful experiences, and learning healthier ways to navigate life, relationships, stress, and emotions. I work alongside my clients to help them reconnect with their values, build emotional resilience, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. (Headway)

My style is warm and supportive, but also practical. I want therapy to feel meaningful and useful, not like a place where you simply vent without growth. I often incorporate approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients recognize patterns that keep them stuck while building healthier coping skills and greater self-awareness.

I also understand how difficult it can be to ask for help in the first place. Many clients come into therapy carrying shame, self-doubt, anxiety, trauma, or the pressure of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations while neglecting their own needs. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are emotionally and help them feel safe enough to be honest about what they’re experiencing — even the parts they may have never shared out loud before.

You do not have to have everything figured out before you start. You simply have to be willing to show up as yourself, and we can work through the rest together.

Hi, I’m Stephen. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are juggling work, relationships, and health while struggling to be kind to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, regain balance, and reconnect with what matters most.

I believe you deserve support that meets you with compassion and respect. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also a powerful step toward healing and growth. My goal is to help you feel supported as you work through the habits, patterns, and stressors that have been holding you back.
