My name is Steve, and I am a licensed Psychologist at LifeStance Health in Lake Oswego. I hold a doctoral degree from Pacific University in Hillsboro, OR, and completed an internship at Full Circle Health in Boise, ID, both of which are APA accredited. My style of therapy integrates aspects of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy to meet your needs by employing empathy, curiosity, and even some appropriate humor. My goal is to create a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment where you can increase your awareness, gain support both inside and outside therapy, and allow change to come naturally.

My specialties include anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma and complex PTSD, life transitions, substance abuse and dependency, as well as adoption and attachment issues.
I enjoy working with people who seek both short term solution-focused therapy and those who choose to pursue longer term goals of personality change in the context of depth psychology. There are truly many paths to achieving significant relief from symptoms of loss, depression, and anxiety or a change in one's personal situation.
I view the therapeutic journey as Herodotus understood the original meaning of the word history (historous): not as a noun (i.e. a fixed thing) but a verb: literally to go and find out for one's self.

I currently work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, OCD, addiction, relational stress, and trauma.
Are things feeling a little too much right now? Has your "life sucks" playlist been on repeat lately? In our fast-paced society, it can seem "unrealistic" or "weak" to have a space where every aspect of you can exist. We put things under the rug only to find it building up too much. You want a space to sort all these things out that is non-judgemental and warm. You want to get back to being you again, however that may look. You want to feel more grounded in your ability to handle the waves of life.

I have spent many years working with individuals and their families at all stages of life, from childhood through late adulthood, the majority of whom have experienced intergenerational trauma.
Nothing has been more exciting and gratifying for me as a therapist than the moment I can see someone recognizing the patterns and thoughts which have been keeping them from the happiness and joyful life they deserve. Those moments can be the spark that starts a whole new way of thinking and living for someone. In a world that is often rich in negative emotions and destructive behavior, every new spark that can help change the way a single person feels and acts can help others too. Every great journey begins with a single step.

Mood Concerns- alleviate depression, anxiety, stress & reclaim self worth; Trauma - healing memories still hurt & hold us back.
Even when we feel stuck, hurt or confused; our mood or life feel off balance; or our relationship has lost it's way, with the right support, we can draw upon existing strengths and wisdom to take the leap into transitions towards a better life for ourselves. I work with couples, seeking a bridge back to one another when distance, conflict or communication difficulties have taken away their sense of connectedness and understanding. I work with individuals to help them find a sense of clarity and resilience to clear away obstacles or heal painful memories that seem insurmountable.

I am a therapist with over thirty years clinical experience. Over the years I’ve worked with and helped hundreds of individuals and couples through a wide range of difficulties. I’ve learned that there are a lot ways to help, to heal and to promote personal growth, and that no particular approach fits every person or situation. For some individuals problems arise from recent traumatic events, while others struggle with childhood trauma or neglect. Some have disabling anxiety, chronic sleep problems, self-destructive behaviors, self-worth issues or general depression.

I integrate evidenced-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) among other modalities.
I provide clinical services to individuals who are experiencing disruption in their lives due to anxiety, depression, addiction, sexual dysfunction and trauma (complex, family or sexual). In practice, I begin by working with clients to collaboratively identify treatment goals and develop a treatment pathway to meet those goals, while considering the individual's culture, lifestyle, strengths and abilities. I believe that treatment or intervention should be individualized to meet the needs of clients in an eclectic way.
