Hi there, I'm Michael, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have helped people with issues such as anxiety, depression, aging, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I work effectively with clients seeking to move beyond previous negative experiences or current situational stressors and develop healthy coping skills. I can relate to many life challenges impacting thought, mood, and behavior. I approach psychotherapy pragmatically with an existential/humanistic emphasis. My top modalities are CBT, Narrative, and Solution Focused therapy.

If you're an overstimulated parent or burned out professional you're not alone and it's not your fault. There are therapists who get it, who have walked that path, and can help. Therapy can improve focus, motivation, and turn down the volume on self-limiting thoughts and behavior that get in the way of you living your best life. You can build skills to make parenting more enjoyable and work less insane, while deepening relationships for a holistic sense of well-being.

It is a challenging and exhilarating task to undertake the journey to know oneself fully and to experience all parts of yourself. We each have a unique story and it is my privilege and honor to bear witness to yours.

I am a firm believer in thorough evaluation early on in the therapy process.
