About Me

Hello! I have had over 25 years of successful experience as a clinical social worker since I graduated with my Master's Degree in Social Work in 1990. This experience has been most rewarding for me as a Catholic man of faith. I believe that my work counseling others is my calling. I am always glad when clients discuss their faith in session because it gives me permission to incorporate my faith and the inspiration I receive from having such a deep connection with God and Jesus Christ. I believe our faith helps us get through the most difficult times in our lives and allows us to realize that we are never alone, that we are loved unconditionally and that He will help guide us through our trials and tribulations. If we believe or can come to believe that God so loved us that he gave his only begotten Son for us, we will know we can overcome anything.

I would be humbly honored to walk with you in faith if you are dealing with troubling times in your life and look forward to the opportunity to help.

Written by V.E. on May 14, 2019 after counseling with Steve for 5 months

Steve is a good listener and gives wise advice/options. He peruses areas that need more discussion, especially areas he sees I need to talk more about/I feel strongly about wanting to change in myself/ life. He reviews things we talked about in the past.

I have been working with Steve for about 6 months now. He is exceptional to work with. He is extremely attentive and helps me understand and talk through issues from a biblical and unbiased, judgement free perspective. If you're thinking of working with him, you will not regret it.

Steve is professional, thoughtful, patient, poses good questions, and makes helpful suggestions. He is quick to listen to slow to speak. Thankful for Steve.
