More about Stephen
- 5 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating complex life transitions. My practice centers on helping clients explore self-love, purpose, and healing from past experiences. I offer compassionate, affirming care for individuals dealing with grief, trauma, body image challenges, and sexuality-related concerns.
My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore attachment issues, work through shame and isolation, and develop stronger connections with themselves and others. Whether you're facing life changes, struggling with seasonal mood shifts, or seeking to understand your personal identity, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and respect.
I bring expertise in addressing men's issues, aging challenges, and the nuanced experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to help you build resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and move towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

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.
