Hi there, I'm Michael!

For many, deciding to go into therapy can be nerve-racking. Others often find it to be one of the most important things you can do in your life: sorting through your thoughts and feelings. It is an important step for those courageous enough to take it on. I have been a mental health practitioner for over forty years.

My focus

My focus is identifying problems and creating a clear strategy to accomplish your goals. I see my job as being like a guide who has seen the same path many times and is able to point out new things you cannot see. We all need a fresh set of eyes that are non-judgmental and yet able to provide clear and direct interventions.

My approach

My approach depends on the person and the problems that they present. I do not believe all approaches work for all people. I like to find out what the client's goals are and, together, decide how I can best help. I will challenge some of your perceptions because I believe our perceptions limit our ability to see new possibilities.
