Hi my name is Michael and I am very excited to be a part of your Therapy journey! I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and I have worked in several treatment facilities including a Nonprofit Women and family health center, an Addiction treatment facility, and a Digital health center for children and families. I will do everything in my power to help you find what you need and begin to heal and grow.

Life is filled with ups and downs, which can seem overwhelming at times for many of us. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, going through a stressful transition in life, or getting stuck in negative thoughts or beliefs, I am here to help you get unstuck.

I communicate in a direct but supportive manner, fostering an environment where you feel heard. Through active listening and structured feedback, we'll work as a team to identify challenges and set clear, achievable goals. Expect me to be understanding yet focused on guiding you to develop resilience and coping skills to overcome difficulties.

My goal is to work collectively as a team with you to identify current difficulties and assist your efforts to overcome these difficulties in a healthy environment where you feel heard and supported. Measurable treatment goals will be established and take priority for each client I serve.

Great to meet you!
