Therapy made for you

Hope is possible. Change is achievable.
ABOUT
Choosing to embark on the path of healing can be difficult, and I applaud you for taking the first step.
Hi, I'm Michael, a psychotherapist providing individual therapy and couples therapy. In my practice, I strive to create a warm and welcoming space for you to explore the challenges in your life and relationships. As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I integrate psychoanalytic approach, Attachment Theory and Motivational Interviewing. In my work with couples, my approach leans towards Relational Psychodynamic Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I believe a warm, compassionate approach can guide people toward healing, deepen self-understanding, and serve as a catalyst for emotional growth and a more meaningful and engaging life. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards well-being and connecting with your authentic Self.
I have extensive experience working with people bringing a variety of concerns. From relationship issues to depression, or anxiety and uncertainty, or how to move forward in a relationship, to issues of infidelity or porn addiction. I am confident that no matter what you bring forth, based on my experience and thoughtful approach, that I will be able to support you in your moment of need.
​The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
— Carl R. Rogers, On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy

Reaching Out
Deciding to begin therapy is a significant step, and it's normal for people to deeply contemplate starting before moving forward. Once you’re ready, my goal is to make the experience as comfortable as possible. I will try, to the best of my ability, to build a trusting relationship with you in a confidential environment where you can openly discuss sensitive topics, free from shame, guilt, or judgment. I am committed to providing a safe space where you can explore challenging aspects in your life, aspects that oftentimes feel too difficult to share with friends and family.
