More about Steven
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LMFT
I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I am curious about love, passion, joy and sorrow. I want to help people have deep and meaningful relationships with those who are most important to them. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also hold a Master's in teaching Special Education. Before becoming a therapist I was a member of Screen Actors Guild and Actors Equity, having appeared in film, TV, and stage. I also produced many video biographies, running a video production company in NYC and Honolulu. The common theme to all my work is wanting to hear peoples' stories.
As part of my therapist training I worked at three residential treatment centers for people dealing with alcohol and/or substance abuse. Now about half of my practice is working with couples seeking to improve their primary relationships and/or their interactions with their children and/or extended families. I have been trained in using the Gottman Method in coup[les counseling.
I employ cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic, attachment theory, solution-focused therapies and existential psychology. My practice is always client-centered. I highly encourage everyone to work towards the best life they can have because it is my belief that this is it!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
