Hi, I'm Michael...

Here's What It's Like Working With Me:

High achievers, entrepreneurs and creatives — if you’re feeling stuck, burned out or unfulfilled in your relationships, let’s jump on a call for a consultation. As a former television executive, I understand the stressors and emotional toll of California culture. That firsthand experience fuels my commitment in helping clients & their partners overcome imposter syndrome, creative ruts and major life transitions. Therapy with me is both compassionate and yet challenging — we delve deep, get radically honest and put in the emotional and behavioral "work" that is required to build and maintain a fulfilling, purposeful life.

​

Informed by my decade as a professor of clinical neuropsych & couples counseling, our sessions will be both evidence-based and deeply relational. I’m not afraid to explore the emotional landscape of hard topics — sex, money, heartbreak, addiction, family — but we don’t stay stuck there. We also talk strategy and solutions — sometimes blunt, always with care.

​

I bring all of myself to this work for the benefit of my clients. As a gay man, I offer an outsider’s perspective that hears nuance beyond any single gender or identity. As an entrepreneur, I provide necessary accountability & focus. And as an artist at heart, I listen for the story beneath the story. If this feels like a fit, call me & let's consult!
