**Supervised by Emily Freeze, MA, LMFT, MPH, PMH-C

Michael is a Marriage & Family therapist specializing in helping parents and couples do their inner work so they can show up more powerfully for their families. Michael believes that lasting change comes from better understanding and healing the parts of ourselves that feel the scariest and hardest to be with, and he values creating a safe and empowering environment for his clients to engage in that type of process. Michael uses trauma-informed therapy approaches like Internal Family Systems, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help individuals and couples better understand how to find deeper connection – both with others and with themselves. 

He specializes in working with couples, parenting challenges, and pornography recovery. Michael also tries to incorporate humor and personality into his work and life, and tries not to take himself too seriously. 

When he is not working with clients, he is spending time with his wife and 3 beautiful and crazy kids. He also writes children’s books and speaks on mental health topics within the community.
