Hi! I'm Mike, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) from AZ. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile! I have many years of experience helping individuals heal from both substance use and mental health challenges. I have worked in community mental health and been involved in the 12-step community for many years. Prior to working in mental health, I had a career in accounting. I have a Biblical worldview that inspires and guides me in my work. I have been married since 1997 and raised 4 children. I also have 4 stepchildren, and 14 grandchildren. Boston is my hometown, but I have been living in AZ since 2015. I am a fan of the Patriots, the Celtics, and the Red Sox. I also like Marvel, Rocky and Star Trek movies. Don't be surprised if I throw in an occasional film quote in our sessions! I would love to help you achieve your treatment and/or life goals. I am available for therapy Monday-Thursday 8 AM - 8 PM, and Friday and Saturday 8 AM - 5 PM. If you believe that my skills, experience and approach would benefit you, I would love to hear from you!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In addition to determining the reason you are here in counseling and completing an intake questionnaire, my priorities during the first session is to make a connection with you and to give you hope. In subsequent sessions I will walk along side of you in an authentic, casual, relaxed, direct and educational style. I also use my sense of humor when appropriate.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths include Biblical worldview, integrity, compassion, and ability to connect with people. I am also solution focused and have insight and awareness into people and situations.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
If you're ready for a better quality of life and are willing to put the work in, then perhaps this is the right time for you to start on your healing journey. I specialize in treatment for anxiety, autism, depression, coping skills for relapse prevention, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, stress, relationship and family issues, life transitions and parenting issues. I also emphasize self-care, resilience, and meaning and purpose in my efforts at guided self- discovery.
Integrative
I'm pragmatic. I use a variety of treatment modalities to help people achieve their goals.

I think Mike is an amazing therapist and is very keen and observant of my emotions and my daily struggles. He’s very sensitive to my thoughts and feelings but also brings a very good perspective on some of the issues I am facing in my life. I also find Mike to be very funny and has a great sense of humor that matches with mine so it’s very easy to have a great conversation with him, but also tackle very tough subjects that I need help with in order for me to move on with my life.

I have learned so much from Mike! My life has gotten better with his guidance and knowledge, and his humor makes it all feel so natural and authentic. I highly recommend checking him out... I was an anxious mess, and now I am not! Thank you, Mike!

I can't say enough good things about my time with Mike. From the minute we started he created a safe and welcoming environment making it easy to share my life with him. He listened attentively and offered thoughtful perspectives that really resonated with me. I highly recommend Mike anyone seeking a counselor who truly cares
