More about Michael
- 18 years' experience

- LCSW
Life can get serious and messy. Let me help you to learn to smile through the pain and become your greatest version of self! I have a master's degree in social work with more than 17 years' experience in the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders!
You are in the driver's seat! I focus on empowering my clients by helping them to recognize their own strengths with a focus on changing maladaptive thinking patterns. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and substance use. I keep the mood light and humorous, but we can cry and laugh all in the same session!
I want each client to know that no matter what challenges we may face, we WILL make it through and learn to turn even our deepest hurt into a source of power! My desire is for every client to develop strong coping skills to deal with the ebb and flow of life on life's terms. You are never alone!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
