Empathic, solutions oriented, and well informed therapist who has created the true definition of a safe space to share and work through my challenges. I look forward to my sessions as I know I will be challenged, encouraged, and provided resources to continously grow outside of the session.

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.

Michael and I have been working together for almost a year. The amount of growth and healing I've experienced thanks to him has been so life changing. He is incredible and I am so thankful to have such an amazing therapist.
A compassionate, knowledgeable therapist who listens without judgment, advises without imposing, and clarifies without interrogating. One of the best experiences I have had to sort out my thoughts.
Michael has been the essence of professionalism, expertise, and welcoming. He has a calming spirit that creates an atmosphere of safety and a courage for full transparency. I am able to explore areas I have not previously due to my apprehension of judgment. I recommend him to anyone who is ready and committed to do deep self work.
My experience with Michael has already been such a pleasure. I was incredibly nervous starting my journey with therapy and quickly felt so at ease with him. He is warm, compassionate and makes me feel heard. I highly recommended him to anyone seeking therapy!
He is super supporting and professional also very enlightening.
Finally! I found my match! It’s so hard to find a therapist that one can connect with and feel safe with her be challenged by to be the best version of yourself and I’m only 3 weeks in. Ur a Michael is that for me. He is so good at making you feel comfortable setting a stage of no judgement ye the pushes you by asking the right questions, allowing you to arrive to insightful reflections of self and supporting you along the way. The sessions never feel rushed or unorganized . He connects week over week and reads your journal entry and add notes along the way. Just when I was going to give up on therapy I found Michael!
