The way we feel, act, or react is not fully determined by external factors- regardless of the circumstances we are in, but also by our outlook on life and perspective toward specific situations. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is provided in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I strive to support and assist clients on their journeys to create meaning in their lives, change or replace patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer working for them, develop greater self-awareness and deepen their relationships.

I have a history of working with a diverse group of folks experiencing issues with substance misuse, grief/loss, trauma, crisis situations, relationships, mental health, and emotional regulation. My ideal client is curious about a new path. They are eager to learn and try new things. They want to create a life for themselves that they do not have to escape from and/or a life that honors their lost loved ones, when the time is right. They want this because they feel lost, confused, and/or tired of the same old patterns of suffering. Book with me now by clicking on my website.

Hi, I'm Mike! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida who enjoys helping people become the best version of themselves.

Hello, I'm so glad you're taking these first steps towards support, healing, and relief. Whether you're struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, big decisions, the long-lasting impact of trauma, or any human challenge - therapy can be a place to gain tools, learn about yourself, make impactful changes, and above all to be seen, heard, and accepted. Therapy can also be hard work - facing uncomfortable feelings and truths. My work is infused with compassion and humor to make the hard parts a little softer. And my most favorite part of our work together will be the celebrations of your successes along the way.

Waitlist for new clients
I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. For those clients who have talked it all out, but continue to suffer, I offer an alternative approach. Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe and non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories.

Drug Abuse Therapists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
