Therapist

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed by emotions, experience anxiety, struggle with self-worth, or want to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them. For parents, therapy can provide space to better understand your own emotions and responses, explore how they influence the way you respond to your children, and strengthen the parent-child relationship. I provide telehealth therapy throughout New York.

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.

Therapist

Life doesn’t always give you time to catch your breath, whether you’re managing

anxiety and depression, moving through a stressful life transition, or facing a chronic

illness or end-of-life diagnosis. For over 12 years, I’ve helped adults and seniors find

steadier ground through anxiety, depression, chronic illness, end-of-life care, and the

stress of young adulthood, in a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space. If you’re

looking for a therapist to walk alongside you, I’d love to connect.

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.
