Hi there, I'm Michael!

I work from a strengths perspective with deep appreciation for different cultures. I tend to be goal-oriented and solution-focused. I am very involved in the therapeutic process and am invested in seeing you progress and grow.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults who experience depression and anxiety, preventing them from achieving what they want out of life. I help clients develop more self-esteem and feel more confident in their decision-making. I enjoy assisting them in developing a plan for therapy so they can feel empowered while working on their goals.

My approach

I utilize a cognitive behavioral, strengths-based approach with individuals and couples. I'm passionate about empowering you to get back to your previous level of functioning, or even better. I bring what is important to you into the session, whether religious or cultural values, and offer feedback and guidance as needed.
