Hi there, I'm Michael!

I'm passionate about normalizing the WANT of Mental Wellness instead of the NEED for Mental Wellness with my clients.

My approach

My therapeutic approach utilizes a Narrative perspective while blending Cognitive and Mindfulness models. I use these perspectives to tailor a wellness plan that fits your needs. I emphasize expression and a holistic approach.

My focus

I work with mood, depression, and anxiety-related concerns and how they interact with the social environment.

My communication style

I can be very direct with specific concerns after all considerations have been reviewed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Millersville University and completed my LCSW licensure hours while working at UPMC.

My goals for you

I help assist with goal setting.

My first session with you

You should expect an overview of how our sessions will go.
