About Michael

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a relational, trauma-informed therapist who works with individuals navigating identity, self-worth, and life transitions. My approach is gentle but active, blending modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existentialism, mindfulness, among others. I believe healing happens in safe, collaborative spaces—where your story is honored, your pace is respected, and meaningful change can unfold.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?

When working with clients navigating anxiety, I take a compassionate, collaborative approach that focuses on both relief and long-term resilience. Together, we gently explore the underlying patterns—like perfectionism, fear of judgment, or overidentification with anxious thoughts—that keep anxiety in a loop. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help you build a new relationship with anxiety: one that doesn’t require you to eliminate it, but instead allows you to move forward with more ease, self-trust, and choice. You won’t be rushed or pathologized here—just met with curiosity, practical tools, and steady support as you learn to anchor yourself in what matters most.
