Hi there, I'm Michael!

Deciding to go into therapy can be nerve-racking, yet it's often one of the most important things you can do: sorting through your thoughts and feelings. It's a courageous step. I hope you'll allow me to accompany you on this part of your journey to help you figure out what steps you need to take.

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 they present. I don't believe all approaches work for all people. I like to find out your goals and, together, decide how I can best help. I'll challenge some of your perceptions because I believe our perceptions limit our ability to see new possibilities. I do this with humor and honest feedback.
