I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who supports teens, young adults, and families working through constant worry, big emotions, focus challenges, and the impact of difficult life experiences. Before specializing in psychiatry five years ago, I spent 13 yeas in emergency medicine, where I learned how deeply people need to feel seen and supported during overwhelming moments. That experience shaped my approach today: blending medical expertise with genuine curiosity, compassion, and respect for YOUR story. My goal is to create a space where you feel, safe, understood, and able to explore what you are going through with clarity and confidence.
There's a point where pushing through on your own stops being resilience and starts just being exhausting. I'm Mike, a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, panic, depression, and the kind of mood and identity questions that are hard to untangle alone. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively work with men who are ready to take their mental health seriously. I believe you already have strengths you may not be giving yourself credit for. Clients often describe me as direct, clear, and collaborative.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing compassionate, evidence-based care to adolescents and adults. My approach blends clinical expertise with a collaborative, patient-centered philosophy, I believe treatment works best when you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.
I earned my graduate degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing from Northern Kentucky University and have experience treating a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, trauma-related conditions, mood disorders, and medication management for complex psychiatric presentations. My background includes working with individuals navigating life transitions, high-achieving professionals experiencing burnout, and patients seeking thoughtful, personalized medication management.
I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, with a focus on clarity, safety, and long-term stability. I aim to avoid overmedication while ensuring symptoms are effectively treated. When appropriate, I integrate supportive therapy techniques into sessions to help patients build insight, resilience, and practical coping strategies.
My practice is fully telehealth-based, allowing for convenient, private access to care. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable discussing what’s really going on — without judgment — and to work together toward meaningful, sustainable improvement in your mental health.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gilbert
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming provider in Gilbert starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. For some, identity exploration, coming out, or navigating family and cultural expectations may be central to therapy. For others, the focus may be on anxiety, depression, relationships, or stress — with the confidence that your provider respects and affirms who you are without requiring explanation. Both are valid starting points.
Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns. Reading detailed provider bios can help you understand their approach, style, and areas of focus before reaching out. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge whether a provider feels like the right fit.
Therapy in the Gilbert area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use insurance. Many in-network providers in Arizona accept major plans, and confirming your coverage before your first session can help you avoid unexpected costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — so you know what to expect before you commit.
