He is certified to lead groups in Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) and holds credentials in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Seeking Safety for trauma and PTSD, and the Matrix Model for relapse prevention, along with other trauma-informed care protocols.

He brings extensive familiarity with 12-step approaches and offers faith-based apologetic interventions when appropriate, and his work follows evidence-based practices and current research. Steve addresses a wide range of concerns including addictions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, family and parenting difficulties, grief, anger, and caregiver stress. His practice also supports clients working through attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, impulsivity, communication and control problems, and family of origin dynamics. This blend of training and experience supports work with complex or overlapping clinical needs while focusing on practical, measurable goals.
