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.

I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.
Everyone deserves to be the main character of their story. I am here to support and guide you in believing that. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental space that allows you to gain deeper insight into your emotions, thoughts, and relationships so you can heal and grow. Through compassion, acceptance, and a little bit of humor, I will join you on this journey to releasing the parts of you that no longer serve you so you can show up authentically you no matter what. I accept every person exactly as they are. If you’re looking for thoughtful, compassionate therapy that combines depth with practical tools, I’d welcome a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
