- LCSW
I am licensed in Florida with 20+ years of professional work experience in the field of Social Work /Human Services. I have experience in helping clients in dealing with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, working on grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. Respect is a key element in my therapeutic approach. I am here to respect you first as a human being that has strengths and weaknesses and deserves to feel valuable for who you are and not the unrealistic expectations of what culture, family, or friends may push. I will work with you on developing a treatment plan that will meet your specific needs. I am not here to fix you. I am here to help you find solutions and understand how best to deal/cope with the issues you talk with me about. It takes courage to seek out and honestly work on issues that make us feel uncomfortable. Issues that may keep you from living a life that can be more fulfilling and happy. I am here to help, support, & empower you on your life journey.

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.

Michael is a true gem. He is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable therapist but also very approachable and non-judgmental. He provides practical techniques that I can use everyday to support my own mental and emotional growth. I have tried a number of therapists throughout the years, but Michael is by far the one who I feel has helped me the most. I recommend him to anyone who truly wants to get a handle on their mental health.
