About Michael
I've spent over a decade working in behavioral health - as a BHT, case manager, and substance abuse counselor - before becoming a licensed therapist. That background means I understand what it actually looks like when someone is struggling, not just what it looks like on paper. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. My approach is direct and collaborative. I'm not here to just listen and nod - I'm here to help you understand what's driving your patterns and actually do something about it. That means honest conversations, real feedback, and work that continues outside the session. If you've tried therapy before and felt like something was missing, or if you're skeptical it can work for you, that's exactly the kind of client I tend to connect with best. Read more Show less
