Steve is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Orlando, Florida with over 20 years of experience in the counseling field. I currently offer in‑person sessions in the Greater Orlando area and teleHealth appointments anywhere in Florida.

I have a passion for working with individuals 18 years and older who are or may have experienced issues with trauma, depression, anxiety, faith-based struggles, low self-esteem, life transition stress, chronic illness related concerns, ADHD and grief and loss. In practice, I like to come alongside clients to work together to reach the client's goals. My hope for the client is that they would pursue the goal of improving their thinking, mood, and positions using the tools gained through the therapy process.

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, supported, and safe. My primary goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about the parts of your life that feel heavy, confusing, or painful—without judgment or pressure. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring them to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll identify what feels most helpful for you and build a path forward that supports your growth, clarity, and well-being.
