Hi there, I'm Michael!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience treating addiction, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I offer a warm, affirming space for clients, including LGBTQ+ individuals, using evidence‑based approaches to help you explore challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

My focus

I work with adults navigating addiction, anxiety, identity questions, and major life changes. I support clients seeking stability, clarity, and healthier coping tools, offering a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ clients and those from diverse backgrounds.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence‑based care. I blend CBT, motivational interviewing, and client‑centered therapy to address addiction, depression, and stress. I create an affirming space where clients, including LGBTQ+ individuals, can grow at a pace that feels right.
