Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with life transitions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself? You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. I’m Michael, a dedicated therapist committed to helping individuals uncover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve personal growth. As a second-year Master’s student in the Mental Health Counseling program at Fordham University, with over a decade of experience in education and counseling, I bring a unique blend of empathy, practical strategies, and evidence-based practices to our sessions. My approach is rooted in understanding each client’s unique experiences and tailoring our work together to meet your specific needs and goals.

I specialize in working with young adults, particularly those working on academic challenges, healthy habits, and significant life transitions, as well as individuals seeking support for grief, depression, and LGBTQIA+ issues. In our sessions, we’ll collaborate closely to identify and implement therapeutic techniques that resonate with you. Whether through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), or a Rogerian Person-Centered lens, I aim to provide you with the tools and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges. I believe in the power of unconditional positive regard and strengths-based approaches, which means I focus on your inherent potential and capacity for growth.

My background in early childhood education and developmental psychology informs my client-centered approach, ensuring that our work together is both compassionate and practical. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy and respect, helping you to feel understood and empowered throughout your journey.

My ultimate goal is to empower you to take control of your therapeutic process, fostering a sense of self-compassion and confidence as you work through your challenges. Whether you’re dealing with specific issues or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll transform your challenges into opportunities for growth and healing.
