Hello! I am a licensed therapist practicing in Pennsylvania and working with a variety of clientele. I work with a variety of ages, from anyone from 12 and above. I'm also willing to work afternoons, weekends, and evenings to meet anyone where they need to be, should that be needed. I use a variety of treatments to meet my clientele where they are emotionally and developmentally. I tend to work with several mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, and various personality disorders. I also work well with adjustment disorders, as well as trauma. I look forward to working with anyone that feels they could benefit from therapy. Thank you for your time, and I wish you and your family a great day!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can expect a friendly, non-judgmental environment where they can be who they are. They can expect a variety of treatment modalities being used in session to ensure that needs are being met, and they can expect a warm, accepting environment where they can be confident that treatment is guided by their needs.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I tend to use CBT, Reality Therapy, Choice Theory, and Existential Therapy techniques, as well as Person-Centered Therapy techniques.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strengths come from my flexibility and understanding. I am willing to accept everyone's unique circumstances and I'm able to find positives in each. I'm also willing to provide a non-judgmental space for people who have topics to share about which few, of any, other people know about. My friendly and caring demeanor offers a therapeutic experience that invites my clientele to share if they feel the need to do so.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Victims of trauma, domestic violence, sexual trauma, teen issues, gender and sex change issues, and parenting struggles

I like his straight foward approach. It was only my first appointment with him, but he made me feel welcome to talk about my mental health issues with no judgement. Thank you Michael!!

Michael is easy to talk to and nonjudgmental. He doesn't just listen; he challenges me and helps me gain new perspectives. You can tell he's obviously intelligent, but he doesn't use overt therapy talk and is easy to relate to. Would highly recommend.
