Michael is a great listener and always has helpful insight for anything going on in my life. I was skeptical when I first started therapy but having a therapist like Michael changed my perspective entirely. I’ve grown as a person since I’ve started working with Michael and I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned.

I have nothing but good things to say about Michael. To cut it short he listens, Michael really wants to see his clients improve. He offers options that provides suggestions on how to go about personal challenges. Michael is truly an honor to share time with.

Michael has been the exact missing piece to my wellness puzzle. It has a been a perfect fit for me and I look forward to our sessions each week. He is caring, wise, compassionate yet honest. I value him and our times together immensely. It was the perfect time for me to join Better Help and Michael is my angel in disguise.
