Welcome–out of a deep commitment to providing compassionate mental health care, I founded my practice where I focus on serving adult members of the LGBTQIA+ or gender diverse communities, as well as individuals who are affected by HIV/AIDS illness. My work is grounded in a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and affirming approach that centers on each person’s unique lived experience, sexual or gender identities, and therapeutic goals. I strive to create a welcoming and non-judgmental space where individuals can feel safe to explore the emotional, relational, and sexual aspects of their lives with curiosity and heartfelt care.
I am a sex therapist trained in providing sex-based therapy, assisting clients in resolving sensitive issues with shame, intimacy difficulties, mismatched sexual desires with your partner(s), performance anxiety, and attitudes around sexuality. Additionally, I can help explore potential concerns and solutions related to sex and/or pornography addiction.
My approach to life and counseling is gentle and compassionate, understanding that everyone faces struggles. My promise to you is that I will listen with a heart for kindness, honoring your unique experiences, while striving to help you discover greater peace, strength, and joy in life. Let's embark on this journey together and see how far we can go.

Stephen is one of the sharper clinicians I know. He is well-read, precise, and brings genuine depth to every clinical conversation. The kind of therapist who has clearly done his own work and continues to grow. Highly recommend.

I employ a compassionate and mindful approach to therapy, relying on a combination of evidence-based therapeutic practices. When confronting trauma, I have found the combination of narrative therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) often provides a practical and effective treatment approach. If you're curious how these approaches might help you, let's talk.
