Hi, I’m Mike, a licensed therapist in Maryland. I help people build confidence, self-discipline and momentum in their lives. Before becoming a therapist, I was a Division I track athlete and a collegiate coach, so steady progress and follow-through are a big part of how I think. I’ve also lived in Colombia and Mexico City and worked as a filmmaker, and those experiences taught me how much we grow when we try new things.
I believe insight is important, but lasting change happens through new, positive experiences that show you something different is possible. That’s why my approach is solution-focused and action-oriented. Sessions are practical and experiential: we set clear goals, practice new skills, and plan small challenges to try between sessions. I also look at the basics that affect motivation, like sleep, movement, nutrition and the people around you.
Our first session is about getting to know you and what you want to change. We’ll talk about where you feel stuck, what’s already working, and what success would look like for you. By the end, you’ll leave with one or two clear goals and a first step to try that week. I keep things warm, direct and focused on progress.
