About

Do you feel overwhelmed by life transitions, identity questions, or relationship struggles? I’m Michael, a therapist dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of being human—with curiosity, compassion, and clarity. Whether you’re exploring your identity, facing anxiety or depression, or trying to find your voice in relationships, I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself. I work primarily with young adults and members of the LGBTQ+ community, including those grappling with feelings of alienation, shame, or uncertainty. Many of my clients are navigating family planning, OCD, religious trauma, or relationship challenges—including non-monogamous partnerships—and are seeking clarity, confidence, and connection. My approach is warm, grounded, and insight-driven. I blend psychoeducation with evidence-based practices to help you understand the “why” behind your patterns and emotions. Together, we’ll process pain, shift mindsets, and build resilience. For couples, I bring openness and curiosity to help you improve communication and explore identity with honesty and care. In our work, shame is replaced with self-compassion, and pressure gives way to deeper understanding. I’m here to walk with you—not to fix you—but to help you feel empowered and proud of your growth. If you're ready for a space where your vulnerability is welcome and your story matters, I’d be honored to support you. Reach out today to begin your journey.
