Hi, I'm Michael!

 

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist offering talk therapy and mindfulness-based therapy. My work is grounded in systemic and relational approaches, drawing from both health systems and family systems psychotherapy.

​

How often do you reflect on building a life worth living, or relationships worth nurturing? If that question feels unfamiliar or overwhelming, therapy can be a valuable place to explore it. Our beliefs about what life is “about” shape us throughout our lives, and taking time to reflect on ourselves and our relationships can be grounding, healing, and clarifying.

​

My approach is personalized to your needs, judgment-free, and rooted in humility and gratitude. I’ve been, and continue to be, in the client seat myself and that perspective deeply informs how I hold space for others.

​

I work primarily from a systemic relational lens, which means you the client are central to the process. I also integrate narrative and mindfulness-based therapies, helping you explore how the stories you tell yourself and your mind-body connection shape your daily life and relationships. Together, we’ll find ways to work with your challenges rather than against them.

​

In sessions with me, you can expect to reflect on how your body feels, how your thoughts take shape, and how to creatively sit with the unknown. You’ll be met in a safe, inclusive, and receptive space.

​

Areas of focus:

I support clients working through depression, anxiety, self-harm, burnout, existential questions, interpersonal conflict, and spiritual exploration. I offer trauma-informed care rooted in safety, collaboration, cultural responsiveness, and empowerment.

​

Outside of therapy, you’ll find me reading about neurobiology and philosophy, walking or playing with my dog, or gathered with friends for board games.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. If something here resonates with you, I’d be happy to connect.
