Michael offers a caring, supportive, safe environment for growth. Let's face it, you just want to be happy, content, satisfied. Maybe just learning to love and accept yourself is enough. But, problems surround us constantly. It's so difficult to dream of what we want when we are consumed by what we don't have or what we might lose. How can you focus on where you want to go when right now is so difficult? What do you aspire to achieve? What are your best hopes for the future (and present)? Brief Solution-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy doesn't just work on solving past or current problems, but also on building a positive future.

Psychotherapy is an investment in a life lived consciously and self-reflectively. With respect for the complexity of psychological problems and their uniquely subjective meaning and function for each person, the "work" of psychotherapy fosters a curiosity about ourselves, our histories, our relational patterns, our ways of thinking and behaving, and of managing stress and loss. Questions like - why do I do the things I do? Choose to be involved with this type of person? React to stress or loss this way? Why am I stuck? Sad? Empty feeling? - help us develop insight and the capacity for informed change.

Whether you are seeking relief for a specific issue, symptom or problem or feeling a longing to improve the quality and meaning of your life and develop your potential, therapy is a path seriously worth exploring. Moreover, our symptoms, depressions, anxieties and fears, our addictions and old habit patterns create a wall in front of us as we strive to move forward. Left solely to our own devices change can evoke high anxiety and include a resurgence of old negative or depressive messages and "what-if?" thinking. We may doubt ourselves,our capacities in learning, work ,communication or love, even play.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, it is my goal to understand the relationship between the brain and cognitive/behavioral functioning. I work with patients with a variety of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders to help with diagnostic clarification based on the findings of a comprehensive evaluation. The evaluation incorporates information gathered from a clinical interview with the patient (and at times an accompanying family member), responses on emotional/behavioral questionnaires, and performance on standardized cognitive measures.

As a psychotherapist, my ultimate goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients to grow as a person and develop skills that will improve their overall quality of life. Therapy isn’t a one size fits all practice. Therefore, I believe in building good rapport with my clients to properly assess their needs in order to determine an individualized treatment plan. I have experience working with populations whose cultures and backgrounds often stigmatize mental health, therefore I am passionate about bridging that gap. I'm thankful that you have visited my page and I look forward to working with you!

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
