Michele is an Italian male name pronounced "Meek-ay-lay." My professional journey has been shaped by training in both Europe and New York, providing me with a global perspective. I specialize in helping individuals navigate depression and anxiety. Sometimes, these feelings stem from life’s inevitable challenges—grief, career struggles, or significant transitions. At other times, they emerge unbidden, shrouded in mystery, as if the mind has tucked away the source of its distress. Whether the origins of your pain are clear or obscured, therapy offers a meaningful path to self-discovery. It is a space to gently unravel these feelings.
Therapy allows us to put our distress into words making it plain, it allows to share our struggles making them manageable. It allows us to discover that our stories can have better endings. Therapy is about feeling heard while trying to untangle complicated threads of discomfort.
When you reach out via email, please include the reasons why you think I may be a good fit for you. Please specify how you found my name (insurance, referral, etc...)

I will work with you to make the costs of therapy affordable to you by holding in mind the principle "the health care system should cover for the bulk of the cost".

Examples of treatment benefits are: gaining insight on relational patterns about which I had blind spots; gaining insight about early family dynamics that unbeknownst to me are affecting my current life; gaining insight about the origins of the triggers that "push my buttons".
