Are you an ambitious BIPOC but fear you won’t have the energy levels or emotional stability to maintain your goals? Do you struggle with needing things to be perfect, doubt your abilities, stress, struggle to focus, or feel down on yourself? Feeling like a burden all the time & hiding parts of yourself makes you feel stuck. Time management is off and your once helpful routines are a distant memory. And still, you're doing the things you need to, but feeling exhausted, alone, & overworked is not sustainable. You know there's a better way to move through the world and you're ready to feel lighter, organized, supported, & sustainable.

We all struggle with some degree of anxiety, trauma, some kinds of interpersonal challenges. It really helps to have someone to help us navigate these struggles and build skills. As a therapist, I offer lots of ideas and practices, and the folks who get the most out of our work are willing to try things out on their own. I offer these approaches with kindness, authenticity, and a sense of humor. There’s no reason therapy can’t be fun!

I am confident I can help you with where you're at right now. I help people make sense of their childhoods and find new ways to experience difficult emotions. What always helps is increasing your tolerance to sit with discomfort. Of course, this is easier said than done. Especially with traumatic memories, your system is going to create distance from them. That is a natural response and something we can work with together. The relationship we will develop is always the best tool to use in this process. It is my aim to help you feel safe and seen in a way that both challenges and validates your experiences.

I believe all humans have the potential to discover their inner strength and overcome difficulties. I help clients to understand the root of unhealthy behavior patterns and thoughts to break free from what is holding them back from living authentically. My approach includes mindfulness, compassion, and helping my clients to recognize their own inner resources. I look forward to working with you to create transformation, healing and strength from within despite the external challenges of the world, being "stuck" in past trauma or childhood narratives, and day to day stressors - EMDR/trauma based focus.

Gentlemen, it’s a recognized human tendency to get “stuck” in our lives. Here’s the truth; you are never “stuck” with your present circumstances. The Game of Life is a psychological and spiritual journey and winning at this game requires you to change your play and learn to think differently and do things in a new way. The work of Stephen Pleasant Therapy is to help men break out from being “stuck” in life, resigned to producing results that are disappointing to them and others. The goal of Stephen Pleasant Therapy is to see transformative progress in men’s confidence, clarity, and full self-expression.

Sometimes life can feel so challenging and overwhelming that anxiety, fear, sadness, grief, or anger stops us in our tracks. We may feel constant distress in our thoughts, feelings and body. Or maybe we feel the complete opposite and become frozen and numb. There may be negative voices in your head affecting the way you view yourself, others, or the world around you. Perhaps you are exhausted from the discrepancy between how you feel and how you want to feel. You are at a point of wanting something different.

You've overcome trauma in your life. You are successful, but new changes are bringing up emotions that are difficult to manage. Maybe they are emotions that you haven't felt in awhile and you need a safe place to process them. Maybe you've felt them, but your current coping skills are no longer working. You are ready for relief from these emotions. You're ready to let go of the past and start this new chapter with ease, but the people who care about you want to help, but don't know how. You are ready to rewrite your story and be confident in yourself and your relationships.

I enjoy working with clients who seek to grow emotionally, relationally and spiritually. I believe therapy is an opportunity to come alongside others to help them heal and grow. I am relational in my approach. I believe that people have been broken in relationships and that we are healed in the context of relationships. Over the past 19 years I have had many clients reach their goals and experienced transformation through the counseling process. There is no greater privilege than being able to walk beside people in their healing journey. Evening and weekday appointments available. Contact me via phone, text or email.
