When life and relationships feel stressful or uncertain, it can be hard to know how to move forward. If you are feeling stressed, exhausted, anxious, or alone, Michael is here to help you. Michael’s goal is to help you better understand what’s keeping you stuck while supporting growth, healing, and lasting change.

Are you an individual who has concerns relating to anxiety, depression, addiction/substance misuse, suicidal thoughts, emotional regulation, burnout, stress, or life transitions? Michael can support you in addressing these concerns by identifying your strengths, disrupting problematic patterns, and developing useful tools.

Are you noticing issues in your marriage or relationship impacting communication, emotional connection, friendship and intimacy, sexual satisfaction, or relationship direction? Michael offers a safe and supportive space for you both to express emotions, build conflict skills, create shared meaning, and rekindle friendship and intimacy.

Michael is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Work and achieved three degrees (BA, BSW, and MSW) from the University of Waterloo. Michael understands therapy does not have a “one size fits all” approach, which is why Michael uses various evidence-informed therapeutic interventions like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Somatic Therapy (ST), and Gottman’s Couples Method (GCM).

Michael’s priority is creating a safe, open, and non-judgmental space for your authentic self and relationship to be welcomed and embraced. Michael uses warmth, genuineness, and compassion to build a strong therapeutic relationship to support positive therapy outcomes. Michael is a client-centered therapist and will work with you to customize a care plan and tailor therapy for you.
