You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and resentful, but you struggle to set limits and say no. Meanwhile, the to-do list in your head just keeps growing. You’ve been working overtime to try and stay on top of everything, but despite your efforts, nobody really sees, appreciates, or understands all that you’re doing. It’s awful, I know. But there’s a way out, and helping people find it is what I do.

My clients are great at looking out for others. Themselves? Not so much. Why? They’re worried about their gain coming at others’ expense. It’s taking a ‘lose-win’ approach to life, and while it attracts plenty of people who want to play, it’s not exactly a fun game. But there’s another game, and it's the one I help my clients master: win-win.

One of my biggest takeaways from over 20 years of being a psychotherapist: we’re all capable of more than we realize. Change can be scary and difficult, but you don’t have to do it on your own. If you’re ready to build a life that fits you, let's talk about how to make that happen without alienating everyone else.

Endorsement

Sue Goetz

Steve and I have been colleagues for over 15 years, including having been in a consultation group together, and I've always been impressed with his clinical work, intelligence, and empathetic - while also direct - approach for therapy and coaching clients.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

Therapy techniques are tools, and like any tools, the key is making sure you use the right ones for the job. Each client is different, so the mix of techniques and tools & I use varies from client to client. Even more important, though, is the quality of the therapist-client relationship. This isn't about 'how did that make you feel?' It's about building a genuine connection with my clients.
