Hi there, I'm Michael!
I am a California-licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's degree in social work and a second undergrad in Religious and Philosophical Studies. My combination of education and personal application of psychology, sociology, and spirituality has reduced my negative self-perceptions and increased skills that are passed on to my clients.
My focus
I have become deeply committed to nonjudgmental care. I am also a Christian with a degree in world religions, which enhances my ability to engage in meaningful, spiritually informed conversations with clients. My career has spanned diverse mental health settings, including state hospitals, prisons, and acute medical centers
My approach
I empower clients to address anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, and other traumatizing conditions using evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Practice, and Spirituality. These approaches help build skills and confidence.
