Hey, I’m Mike. For the better part of the past decade, I’ve been helping a diverse range of clients overcome their personal challenges and embrace the possibility of a better life. There’s no problem too small to address and therapy is your space to do so. I’m passionate about being an unwavering support to my clients. I encourage communication, reflection, and inspired action between sessions. I’ll never force an agenda, and we’ll work at your pace to set you up for success.
In our first session, we’ll begin with a brief introduction. I’ll share some background information about myself, as well as review my policies and procedures to ensure we’re all on the same page. After that, we’ll dive into your background so I can get to know you better. We’ll also discuss why you’re seeking therapy, why now feels like the right time, and what you hope to achieve through the process.
My approach is casual, conversational, and relatable. I hope to provide a comfortable environment for my clients to grow, so formality in our space isn’t necessary. I’m also particularly effective in taking complex, abstract theory and explaining it in an understandable, layperson manner. I’m enthusiastic about helping you make change and I encourage open communication, even texting between sessions to help you get where you want to go.
I love working with clients who are not only interested in better understanding their mental health, but who are also motivated to build tools and skills they can apply in their everyday lives. My goal is to help clients develop strategies they can use not just between sessions, but long after therapy ends, so they feel confident navigating challenges on their own. I treat the full spectrum of addiction, including non-substance-related addictions, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, and identity exploration.

Mike is a very personable therapist. You can talk with him just like an old friend. He has been easy to talk to right from the start. I continue to happily recommend his services to others! I am in a much better place mentally thanks to his support and expertise.
Using motivational interviewing I help clients to see that they possess the strength and ability to grow and change—even if past attempts at change have failed.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions, primarily depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective means of treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Person-centered therapy operates on the humanistic belief that the client is inherently driven toward and has the capacity for growth and self-actualization; it relies on this force for therapeutic change. The role of the counselor is to provide a nonjudgmental environment conducive to honest self-exploration.
