About Mike
Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? As a parent, are you struggling with your teen? Family issues? Let me help. I offer online therapy for teens, parents, and families. As a private practitioner & school counselor, I can help you sort through individual, adolescent, and family difficulties.
For over 20 years, I have helped teens, adults, and families adjust to difficult situations. Research has proven that the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My main goal is to create a caring bond that will help you find solutions.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
In my journey in life, many have helped me along the way. Helping others is a calling. I knew early on that I wanted to give back and help serve others. People are inherently good and want what’s best; that passion in others drives me.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
Therapy can be scary. And let’s face it, talking about painful life experiences can be difficult. In my work, the most important goal is to build a mutual trust and honesty with my clients. In building that relationship, we can find what works. Clients should be empowered to make therapy work for them!
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I have over 20 years experience working in psychology, counseling, and education. My specialty would be my work with adolescents as I’ve been a high school counselor for the last 17 years. I am also a father of two children, so I personally know the challenges of parenting. I promise to be knind, caring, and nonjudgmental. A genuine connection with my clients is my top priority.
What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
My approach is client centered and psychodynamic. In sum, the client drives the session and I will always meet you where you are at. Some days we are open to sharing painful and private aspects of our lives and other days we are not…and that’s ok. I also feel it is important to review our past and how it continues to meet us in the future. In therapy, we look into ourselves to find solutions to life’s challenges.
