Michael brings many years of therapy experience to his clients and I have felt very listened to and supported by him. More so than any other therapist I have seen, Michael balances listening and reflecting my thoughts and feelings with providing advice and strategies depending on what I am going through and what we are working on. I value his perspective and it makes my internal and external life better.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a masters of science in Counseling. I have over 17 years experience providing counseling services, including virtual counseling, in private practice. My treatment is cognitive-behavioral with a teaching approach. This means my focus is to be proactive on reaching goals and objectives and the strategies to reach them. I provide individual, family, couples and behavioral therapy to multiple demographics. Along with providing counseling services to the general population, I am an expert in providing counseling to specialized/unique populations, including, but not limited to: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, autism, intellectual/developmental disabilities, MS, chronic disease, veterans, and mental health issues. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
