About

When life knocks us down, sometimes we need support to get back up. If you are reading this, my bet is you are looking for that kind of support right now, either for yourself or someone you love. Hello, I’m Mike. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I love working with teens (both willing and apprehensive), young adults and men of all ages. I work best with people who are looking to overcome challenges, set new goals or are seeking growth. I also connect well with people who might be nervous, scared, or unsure about the whole therapy thing. I’ve been there myself - many times.

Prior to therapy, I worked in church ministry for 20+ years. I learned that growth and healing is messy. It doesn’t always look how we expect it to look. This is why I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy. Each of our stories are unique, so our therapeutic approach must be unique too.

I use the evidence-based therapy models using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), with an emphasis on mindfulness. I believe theories are simply tools we use to build a healthier life, but not all tools work for all situations – so let’s work together and find the right tools to help you reach your goals.
