I've been a Marriage Family Therapist for 22 years. Michael (and his associates) use humanistic, psychodynamic, and CBT treatments for depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, substance use disorders, adolescent turmoil, trauma, transitions, grief, self esteem, and other life challenges. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents and couples. Michael and his team uses a non-judgmental, caring, and often uplifting approach that includes mindfulness and an appreciation and respect for diverse clientele, ethnicity, spiritual/religious, orientation and identity issues. I have my own private practice but I also have a group practice with four amazing therapists who work for me. I love supervising my therapists and finding creative ways to help people who are stuck and suffering with different issues and concerns.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First I will go over issues of informed consent and we'll have an introduction and then we can start to work on issues, problems and concerns, and find a game plan for addressing these issues and creating relief and tools for improving mood and functioning going forward. My goal is to provide support and guidance and help you find strategies so you can feel better and reduce suffering and increase contentment in your life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths are understanding, empathy, and life experience. I'm 60 years old now and have had many experiences in life and have helped people from all parts of society, all age groups, all types of people. I've worked with high functioning people with anxiety and depression to people and families who are challenged with severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I have compassion for everyone and I help people come up with creative ideas and strategies that can include humor and spirituality and a bigger perspective on life.
