My Approach

Steven’s coaching is grounded in trauma-informed principles and the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM) developed by Carol Juergensen Sheets, whose supervision continues to shape his practice.

With over a decade of active engagement in recovery work, Steven has walked a path of both deep challenge and meaningful transformation. Through years of 12-Step participation, he has coached and sponsored numerous men in their journeys toward honesty, empathy, and accountability. Along the way, he experienced many trials and false starts before discovering what truly creates lasting change—integrity, self-awareness, and consistent empathy in action.

Having lived on both sides of betrayal—as a partner seeking safety and as one learning to rebuild trust—Steven brings a balanced, compassionate understanding to the healing process. These experiences naturally align with the Help Her Heal and Help Them Heal frameworks, which emphasize empathy, structure, and emotional safety as the foundation for repair. His methods are structured, educational, and experiential, inviting awareness and growth within clear ethical boundaries, without crossing into therapy or clinical treatment. His focus is on creating a safe, developmental partnership that fosters accountability, authentic connection, and sustainable personal change.

ICF Ethics & Coaching Boundaries

As a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), Steven upholds the ICF Code of Ethics, which emphasizes integrity, confidentiality, and respect for each client’s autonomy. Every coaching relationship is founded on professionalism, trust, and the belief that clients are capable of self-directed growth.

Coaching at Integrity Disclosures is educational, developmental, and experiential in nature. It provides structured guidance, accountability, and reflective dialogue but does not include diagnosis, therapy, or clinical treatment. Steven’s role is to facilitate awareness, clarify values, and support clients in taking aligned, purposeful action.

He is committed to maintaining clear professional boundaries and a safe, nonjudgmental coaching environment. His practice is trauma-informed and empathy-centered, ensuring each client experiences both psychological safety and empowerment as they move toward sustainable personal growth.
