Michael's Approach to Therapy
My work and experience have allowed me to aid individuals in many age brackets. I am able to be adaptable to meet the needs of the individuals in front of me. While I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders and traumas, I have the capacity to assist with a range of issues.
I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral approach. CBT is useful in both exploring and altering negative thought patterns and behaviors, so we can live more functional and healthy lives. By exploring connections between our thoughts and behavior, we can be more aware to make healthier choices and improve.
I prioritize creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, where clients of all ages feel comfortable expressing themselves. Whether you’re a young adult navigating new life challenges or an older individual seeking support for past trauma, I offer the same level of care, understanding, and validation.
