More about Steven

Welcome! I commend you for taking these steps towards creating change in your life. It takes courage to seek help and to consider letting someone get to know you.

I have over a decade of diverse clinical practice with a Masters in clinical social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an additional Masters in Ethics from the University of Chicago.

I love this work and am a relentless believer in the power of human change. I have extensive experience in the areas of past and present abuse and trauma, family of origin issues, relationships, sexuality, as well as in managing the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and the sometimes unhealthy coping strategies that can emerge from both situational and chronic stressors.

My style is warm, interactive and approachable. I believe in helping you see things you may miss in yourself and in others. My clinical approaches will vary with your preferences and needs. I believe humans are incredibly resilient and I will start with seeking to understand both the challenges you are facing and the strengths you already bring. I will work incredibly hard to ensure you feel respected, supported, and that you walk away with tools you find helpful to manage your current concerns as well as those you may face down the road. I look forward to working together!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
