I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri with 4.5 years of experience in providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling. I have worked with individuals ages five to adult with a variety of mental health/behavioral presenting issues such as: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, community violence, relationship and family issues, and many more. As a standard practice, I approach the therapeutic relationship with an acute sensitivity and respect for multi/cross-cultural factors and influence.
My experience is varied and across a wide array of settings, as I have provided individual, group and family therapy in a community mental health agency as an imbedded therapist inside of a school. I believe our belief systems strongly influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions toward many activating events in our lives and help shape us into the people we are today and the decisions we make daily. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship, and you, with compassion, respect, and openminded.
My therapy style and approach is influenced by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy primarily and Person Centered Therapy. Setting and realizing your goals is a team-effort, and together we will work at your comfort level to effectively establish and achieve goals that make sense for your life. Whether you’re on a path of self-discovery, or ultimately looking to alleviate symptoms for a better quality of life, together we can work to achieve your goals!
Mental health is a journey, and while you may feel lost now, that is not an indication of how your life will continue. It takes a lot of strength and will power to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life, if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He is doing a good job
Michael has been a Godsend. He has helped me more than you can imagine. I have been fighting some anxiety issues for over 30+ years. With Michael's help, I feel like I am learning to manage my anxiety much more productively. I've been working with him for right around a year, and I have to say I have benefited greatly. Very grateful.
He's been very helpful so far, though I haven't been seeing him long. He's very understanding and knowledgeable this far, and I can't wait to have more sessions with him!

Michael is very helpful. He gives me really useful feedback and tools that I can use in the real world to help improve my mental well-being. He is understanding and responsive. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, helpful therapist.
Michael has been a huge help in my quest for self-management. He is very mindful of his approach to developing a plan that is unique to you and your needs. I highly recommend Michael for your counseling needs.
Micheal is great. He listens to me and understand where I am coming from. Once he hears me out, he’ll offer a new perspective on an emotional level and we’ll talk through different ways we can think about a certain train of thought I’ll be struggling with.I look forward to seeing him every week and he’s really been helping me grow into someone I want to be. Thanks Micheal
Michael has been great. Helped me tremendously and I don't know where I'd be without him! Thank you Michael!
Michael is an extremely good listener with a pleasing personality. He has many great ideas that are geared towards his client's needs. He is very prompt with feedback and accessible. I highly recommend Michael if you are seeking therapy.
Michael is amazing! He always responds in a timely manner or gives me a heads up if he knows he'll be a little slower than usual. He is super insightful and forces me to ask deep questions of myself. As much as I want to talk about one issue, he steers me to healthier approaches. Sometimes it's frustrating, but it's the RIGHT kind of frustration. I signed up in a moment of real despair... slowly but surely Michael is guiding me in the right direction. I'm super appreciative of his time, attention, and insight.
