About Michael

I'm a licensed therapist in Montana with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, anger, and intimacy concerns. My practice also extends to trauma recovery, grief, family dynamics, and identity-related issues including gender dysphoria and sexual orientation. I'm committed to creating an affirming, culturally responsive space where all clients feel valued and understood. I have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, people of faith, communities of color, military and first responder populations, and those facing domestic violence or relationship transitions. My approach draws on evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. I believe in meeting you where you are, with genuine care and respect for your story. Whether you're working through communication patterns, isolation, self-worth, or complex trauma, I'm here to support your healing and growth at your own pace. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you. Read more Show less
