Message from Therapist

Michael's calling to become a therapist began while working in charitable organizations such as E3 Africa where he managed operations for an orphanage and school in Moyo, Uganda. There he found a great need for mental health services for the children there that often witnessed and experienced violence, trauma, starvation, and war firsthand.

Michael is EMDR trained and draws upon a diverse range of counseling therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT, and more.

Michael specializes in helping teenagers and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and addictions. He also wishes to support others grappling with grief, loss, or turmoil within family relationships. Michael firmly believes that within everyone lies the potential for healing and flourishing, provided they summon the courage to take that crucial initial stride.

SPECIALIZATIONS:

  • Adults, Couples & Adolescents
  • ADHD and Asperger's
  • Trauma, Anxiety & Depression
  • Pornography & Video Game Addiction
  • Men's Issues

Bio:
I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University and my Bachelors in Theology from Benedictine University in Mesa.

I am a cradle Catholic in good standing with the Church and have always been involved in my faith and community. As a young adult, I've had amazing experiences such as 4 years of military training through the NJROTC, playing professional sports for Benedictine University, and now enjoy reading and researching more ways to help my clients process their issues!
