About Michael
My work as a life counselor is about helping people gain clarity and move forward in their lives.
It’s easy to get stuck—or at the very least slowed down—by old beliefs, outdated personal narratives, historical wounding, addictive behaviors, sadness or loneliness. Any one of these can seem insurmountable, but with help they can be changed.
Change can be facilitated by being heard, by receiving help with strengthening your self-confidence, by understanding anger if it is there, or through processing loss.
Over the past twenty-five years I’ve helped people fix what seemed unfixable, change what seemed immutable, and connect more deeply than they had thought possible. It all begins with our first conversation.
Change Is Possible
You can make a difference in your life by working on whatever is confusing you, hurting you, blocking you or making you angry. We all have issues to resolve and pain to heal.
One of the things I've heard over the years is, "I wish I’d started seeing you ten years ago." But we begin our personal work when we're ready.
Perhaps this is the time to begin healing yourself—no matter what has been hurting you. We do this work together, so you won’t be alone. Join me on the greatest adventure you’ll ever embark on: the journey to a more balanced and realized you.
INDIVIDUALS
Life is challenging and often complex. It also doesn’t come with a manual. Many people believe they’re meant to figure things out on their own, but the truth is we can all use help navigating our lives.
We’re often convinced we know exactly why we think and act in the ways we do. We believe we are the singular authority on us. After all, who knows us better than we do? If this were true, we would likely be more at peace with ourselves and the world than we are.
People sometimes come to see me to find solution to a particular problem or challenging situation. Other times it’s to focus on changing unwanted, longstanding patterns. It might also be to come to a deeper understanding of themselves in a desire to both heal and expand their personal awareness.
It isn’t always easy to ask for help, but when you do, everything becomes so much better.
COUPLES
It’s difficult, probably impossible, to be in a relationship and not have things go off the rails, at least some of the time. We’re all human and we make mistakes. We can also be quite good at blaming—either ourselves or others—which never helps us have a better relationship.
Often the thing we want most is to have a relationship. Then we get one and don’t quite know what to do once things start not working. One thing to consider doing is to get some outside help. You could start by reading a book about relationships and after that, go see someone who works with couples. Yes, I do that, but you don’t have to see me, just see someone. Your relationship is on the line and it deserves both of you investing in it.
Communication, forgiveness and understanding are the foundation of healthy relationships. I have tools to help you achieve these and more.
