Hi! My name is Michael. I specialize in working with primarily men who struggle with self-confidence, anxiety, stress, and understanding or expressing their emotions. I provide a space where we can safely explore who you are without judgment and how to build a healthier lifestyle. I also specialize in working on relationships, family conflict, and the effects of expectations on behavior and perspectives.

I specialize in developing mindfulness. I work with you to slowly build the awareness needed to understand what you're feeling, why you are feeling this way, and how to integrate these feelings into your daily life in a healthy manner. I create a space where you feel safe being vulnerable, where there is no expectation or judgment.

You have the power of change, heal, and grow into the person you want to be. I will be here to listen, support, and cheer for you every step of the way. Our sessions can be your space for whatever you need. We can laugh, cry, sit in silence, or fill the time with words. I want to hear your story. Reach out via Psychology Today or through my website!

Psychodynamic

I utilize Psychodynamic Therapy to help develop mindfulness and awareness of your emotions. Once we get there, we're going to dig deeper and explore where these emotions come from, what memory or experience shaped you. Then, we explore healthier ways to heal, process, and live the life you're striving for! I also encourage bringing in any dreams you have to understand yourself on a deeper level.
