Hello, I'm Michael...

I know life has a way of pulling the rug out from under you, sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. I work with adults navigating the kind of transitions that don't just change your circumstances, but quietly reshape who you are: shifts in belief or identity, the loss of a community you built your life around, the slow realization that something you were taught to trust has caused you harm.

​

This might resonate if you're navigating:

• Doubt or disillusionment you haven't felt safe voicing

• Shame tied to questioning what you were raised to believe

• Identity disruption or a loss of belonging

• A faith or belief transition — whether gradual deconstruction or sudden rupture

• The lingering effects of a harmful environment — religious, relational, or otherwise

My approach integrates Attachment Theory and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you understand what's driving your distress, loosen the grip of internalized shame, and move toward a more grounded, values-driven life.

Therapy with me is open and collaborative. I keep an eye on what brought you here, but I let you lead each session based on what you're actually carrying that week. I lean heavily on psychoeducation, because a lot of distress lives inside closed loops — the same story, the same information, cycling. New frameworks can spark real curiosity and break cycles in ways that pure processing sometimes can't. More than anything, I want you to leave sessions feeling seen, less alone, and cautiously hopeful — like what you've been carrying isn't catastrophic, and there's a real path through it.

​

Whether you're in the middle of a significant life transition or simply carrying quiet doubts you've never said aloud, you don't have to figure this out alone.
