Having a passion to work with people to bring healing and resolution, Mike strives to encourage and equip others to reach their greatest potential and empower them with the necessary tools to guide them in this process. His approach to counseling is both collaborative and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, and Family Systemic Theories. He has discovered that each person has a fascinating life story to share. Through one’s story, we discover how each person was influenced by past experiences, both positive and negative; interactions with family members and peers; and beliefs constructed around thoughts and feelings experienced during significant life events. Utilizing the above mentioned theories greatly assists him in better understanding each person, his/her story, and root causes that fuel patterns of behavior. In addition to addressing the issues that brings the client to seek relief, we will together acknowledge and augment the person’s strengths.
