About Michael
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. Over my career, I've worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress, helping them build resilience and find their way forward. My approach is grounded in understanding the whole person-your values, relationships, and unique circumstances. I specialize in supporting clients with trauma recovery, self-esteem, communication difficulties, and major life transitions. I also have deep experience with relationship concerns including attachment issues, codependency, infidelity, and separation, as well as workplace challenges, sexuality, and identity exploration. I work with clients across diverse backgrounds and life stages, including military veterans, men's issues, midlife transitions, and young adults. I'm also experienced in supporting individuals managing mood disorders, panic, OCD, eating concerns, self-harm, and addiction-recognizing that many people face multiple interconnected challenges. My therapeutic style is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgment, and working together to identify what matters most to you. Whether you're seeking support for a specific concern or exploring deeper questions about purpose, belonging, and self-compassion, I'm here to help you move toward meaningful change at your own pace. Taking the step to seek therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Read more Show less
