I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Colorado with over 25 years of experience working as a mental health counselor and addiction counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and PTSD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is eclectic, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Motivational Interviewing, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I've really enjoyed working with Michael. He is a great listener but also manages to keep the sessions on track with clear objectives and actionable steps - which I found very helpful.
