(he/him)
Each individual presents with unique experiences and challenges. My aim is to meet you where you are at and help you reach the next personal goal you have set whether it be self-discovery or coping with various challenges. I help by bringing humor and empathic listening to every session. I aim to understand your experience in your eyes and feel what you feel. I hope to help you see that others can help you through the challenges that you are facing. My goal is to help bring a strong connection to the time you spend with me in therapy. The connection made in therapy can lead to strong bonds in your personal life and better decision-making. Through a person-centered and solution-focused approach, we will be able to help you process trauma or discover the person you aspire to be.
Our first session is connecting and understanding your needs. It is an information gathering session but also a time to connect and see if I am the best fit for you. We explore your goals and identify ways to help achieve the improvement you want out of therapy. We also explore your history of issues and your strengths.
My biggest strength as a clinician is my humor and ability to make you feel like you can share what you are feeling and thinking without judgment. Clients who have worked with me have felt a deeper understanding of themself and find reduced pressure.
I can help you manage your depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, or work on future life planning with you.

I stumbled on grow therapy and Michael when I absolutely needed them most. Michael is a very genuine individual with a great sense of humor.

Michael is such a kind and caring person. He has helped me a great deal and he honestly deserves more than the amount of stars this lets you give. He has always been understanding and I have never felt the slightest hint of being judged for what I am dealing with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone that needs help with any type of situation.

I really enjoyed my session with Michael. He has a great ability to listen, and I truly felt heard throughout the conversation. I also felt his empathy, which made the session feel comfortable and supportive. He even made me laugh, which helped me feel more at ease.
