I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma specialist who believes healing is about reclaiming your wholeness—not about perfection or constant resilience. My practice is rooted in spirituality, collective care, and a deep respect for the wisdom of lived experience. I am especially passionate about supporting Black women, femmes, LGBTQIA+ communities, and those carrying generational and complex trauma. Alongside my clinical work, I’ve also been a community organizer, which allows me to honor both the personal and systemic challenges my clients navigate.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.
