I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, substance use disorders, and chronic mental illness, providing comprehensive psychiatric assessments and medication management grounded in individualized, evidence-based, collaborative care.

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.
