Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mike and I am glad you're here!

I received my masters degree in counseling from Fitchburg State University in 2017. After graduating, I started my career as a trauma-informed in home family therapist wherein I worked primarily with children, adolescents, and their caregivers teaching communication skills, coping strategies, addressing safety concerns, and working to improve stability in a home environment. Since 2022 I have worked as an outpatient counselor working with a range of clients from ages 6 to adult. I love working with a variety of clients, and focus especially on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and identity.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with an MSW from Simmons College in Boston in 1996 and use a variety of treatment approaches informed by mindfulness and spirituality. My clients find me accessible and genuine, and it is through and because of our relationship that change will begin to feel more manageable and realistic.
