About me
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 6 years of experience as a therapist and a total of 12 years experience in the community mental healthcare setting. My primary focus has been treating children, youth, and young adults with emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related issues that include PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, and autism spectrum disorder. I also have experience working with adults and youth with chronic mental illnesses and substance use disorders.
My clinical approach is comprised primarily of CBT and TF-CBT, but I also incorporate various aspects of other clinical modalities including DBT, Seeking Safety, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-Based interventions. I enjoy working with individuals of diverse cultures and backgrounds. I strive to provide a relaxed and supportive environment where individuals feel safe to discuss their feelings and concerns without fear of judgement regardless of their race/ethnicity, cultural background, religious/spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Just being able to talk through something’s with someone is a huge help and him asking questions and helping get calm down my mind

Michael is a very good listener and gives very helpful feedback. His suggestions for new things to try and what to discuss next are also very helpful.

So far my sessions have been really well. I have applied some of the things I have learned during my time with Mr. Schwan's. I have already recommended several friends to Mr. Schwan and Betterhelp.
