I understand therapy as an open and collaborative conversation. My sessions do not emphasize diagnoses, and I never view people through the lens of pathology. I prefer to build a warm and nurturing environment that provides space for us to explore the most supportive interventions to address your specific needs.

My approach to therapy is very collaborative because I think change is a process we all go through together. I have worked mostly with children from infants to high school, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism), and various substance abuse disorders.

I chose this therapist because I observe many positive qualities related to Michael's style of treatment. Compared to past experiences and observations from other therapists, shared secondhand from close friends as well as my own past experiences, it appears that Michael stands out among other therapists in the area.

I understand seeking a therapist can feel anxiety-provoking. In my sessions, we talk about real issues impairing your life and work together to bring resolution, hope, and true healing. The relationship with your therapist matters more than the method. If this resonates with you, we can set up a consultation to see if I'm the right fit.
