Individual Psychotherapy,
Couples Counseling, Adventure Therapy,
& Substance Abuse Counseling

Join Mike online or in-person for individual psychotherapy and couples counseling, whether it be for a single session to get consultation on a specific issue, a few sessions to get on the other side of an immediate issue, or long-term weekly, biweekly, monthly, or as-needed sessions to address more ongoing challenges and transformational personal growth. As a meditation teacher, outdoor adventurer, world traveler, and as someone who has done and continues to do intensive inner work, Mike offers unique insights and therapeutic interventions.

Mike blends a variety of traditional talk therapies with more impactful experiential modalities. He adjusts the therapeutic orientation to the individual's, couple's, and family's specific needs, personalities, and interests.

Deepen self-understanding, transform the habitual patterns that block growth, and uncover subconscious material that influences negative behaviors. Gain specific support with grief, athletic issues, existential issues (purpose/meaning), trust, relationships, career, spiritual direction, childhood trauma and attachment symptoms, addiction and substance abuse, loneliness, co-parenting stress, compulsive behaviors, LGBTQ+, sexuality, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, psychophysiologic disorders & chronic pain, depression, PTSD, and more.​

The wilderness, mountains, and deserts provide unique opportunities for healing and personal growth. Having a day of challenge in the beauty of nature can provide a shift that months or even years of talk therapy cannot come close to. Talk about life issues on the trail and then zero-in on the day's objective, taking your mind off of everything and connect mind to body and to the natural world.
