ABOUT Stephen
I am originally one of five brothers from a large Midwestern family in Cleveland, Ohio. I moved to Denver, Colorado in 2008 to get Master’s in Counseling Psychology. It was at the University of Denver that I first worked with individuals struggling with problem gambling. After graduating I worked at a court mandated substance abuse and domestic violence clinic, before landing at a local eating disorder hospital. It was here that I began practicing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
In 2013, I moved to Southern California and continued my career in eating disorder treatment before returning to Colorado with my partner and our little black cat, Chicken Wing (RIP) in 2021. In 2023 I opened my practice serving clients in Colorado and California via telehealth with the intent to provide a safe and trustworthy space for my clients to share their stories.
As an avid collector (records, artwork, books, etc…), I also value the confidence placed in me when sharing their history. Every piece, like every individual is unique and should be treated with thoughtfulness and respect. Over the past 15+ years, I have steadied my hand working with individuals struggling with self confidence, sharing how they really feel, opening up about their experiences, and feeling accepted.
I’d love to help you find a new path.
