Hello, I’m Michael (he/him). I am a Black, gay psychotherapist based in San Francisco, CA providing short- and long-term therapy. In my work, I support people experiencing a broad range of mental health challenges, including internalizing challenges, BIPOC issues, trauma, sexuality and gender issues, psychosis, mood disorders, and social and relationship difficulties. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and people in relationship seeking to unpack, make sense of, and grow from their past and present challenges.

I recognize that my clients know themselves best. As they speak, I listen, reflect, and guide them in exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences more deeply. Together, we collaborate to uncover insights, identify patterns, and develop strategies that foster in them greater self-awareness, empowerment, and self-acceptance.

My approach is relational and collaborative, with a blend of humor, warmth, and directness. In my work, I utilize an eclectic therapy approach that incorporates techniques from a variety of evidence-based modalities to create for my clients a treatment plan designed for them.
