About My Clients
A lot of people choose to work with me because they find themselves at a crossroads. Loss, burnout, anxiety, heartbreak can demand a new way forward. Especially when you’re suffering, it’s overwhelming to do that alone. Therapy with me is a place to settle in and come to terms with what hurts. Another dimension of the pain is often all of the things you’ve never felt the trust or safety to say to anyone else in your life.
My Background and Approach
I'm Stephen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist trained in Lacanian psychoanalysis and contemplative practice. This combination addresses unconscious structures and embodied awareness—the thinking patterns and somatic experience keeping you stuck. My training allows me to listen for what you're not saying, the repetitions revealing your core conflicts. I work with creatives and innovators throughout California who need more than symptom management. This approach reveals why you're experiencing problems, not just how to cope with them.
