For the last 5 years, I have been in clinical practice with individuals and families in New York City. Before that I was a community organizer that counseled families and individual clients particularly impacted by systemic conflicts, trauma/abuse/neglect, mental health disorders and anxiety or anger management. I experience great joy by supporting your courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life, and I guarantee that I will always be here to support and empower you in that journey.

Michael is very professional and I am super comfortable with him. I was a wreck and went through emotional roller coaster over 4 years. Just within 2 months of weekly sessions with Michael, he was patient, he doesn’t judge and he guided me to a better place. I am very thankful and appreciative of Michael’s knowledge and listening and coaching skills. Thank you Michael
