As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe in creating an environment where clients feel safe to show up and be authentically themselves. Being in the field for over 5 years, I know creating that space means being curious, constantly learning, and having multicultural awareness. We all encounter different experiences in life, making the human condition so complex. I hope we're able to navigate that together.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.

When life changes, you need someone who’s lived it too.


I help adults navigating major life transitions — including divorce, grey divorce, identity shifts, dating and relationship challenges. Together we find clarity, steadiness, and a grounded sense of self again.


Life can shift in ways you never expected. I understand the disorientation that comes with midlife change, including divorce, evolving relationships, and moments where you suddenly wonder how you got here. I do this work because no one should have to sort through those moments alone.


I’ve rebuilt my identity, navigated changing relationships, and learned how to move forward when everything felt uncertain.

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Belle Harbor, NY


I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.
