One of my gifts is being able to see a person’s light even when they cannot see it themselves. If you find yourself blocked from your own inner-wisdom and light, I’m here to help. I am a guide for exploring the inner wilderness, reflecting light into the dark places. I profoundly believe in the wisdom of the body, the healing power of the wilderness, and moving through feelings to touch into what we truly want in life. I have a background in wilderness therapy, bilingual social justice counseling, eating disorder treatment, conscious embodiment, and women’s empowerment. I currently offer virtual and nature-based sessions. I also facilitate groups and retreats focused on connection to self, others, and the world.

I look forward to connecting with your light!

People come into my office for many reasons, and the struggle is often that they are dealing with a problem that seems too overwhelming and too complex to handle by themselves. As a result they feel stuck and not able to see a way out. I combine my knowledge of perceptual balancing, neuroscience and Body Psychotherapy to offer a new perspective that is designed to get to the heart of the issue, integrate it and provide the client with new possibilities.

I believe each of us is on a journey to understand ourselves better, to find meaning, and continue on our path towards individualization and wholeness. Dreams, the Soul, relationships, and the unconscious all assist in providing us with insight about who we are and what we desire. Mike combines Soul-centered practices, interpersonal relationship work, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) with depth psychology and person-centered therapy to provide a rich background for growth and healing. Mike is currently completing a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

I believe as humans our natural state is one of joy, connectedness and well-being, and that trauma, loss, and early conditioning often block our access to this truth. Whatever your starting point, I intend to help you find your way back to that basic health, so you can feel good, develop more meaningful relationships, and move towards living wholeheartedly, without fear calling the shots. With both individuals and couples, I mostly use IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help uproot and release the old hurt and negative beliefs that keep you trapped in painful cycles, creating more space for your natural health and joy to surface.

In the end, what makes therapy effective is the relationship between therapist and client, so feel free to come in for a free initial session and see if we feel like a good fit!
