Trauma and Attachment
Therapist in Austin TX
Meet Michael

Therapist in Austin, TX
Welcome to my practice! My greatest commitment is to enabling long-term healing for my clients. After years of therapeutic experience and extensive training in advanced therapy modalities, I feel assured that we can help you navigate your inner and outer world with new confidence.
My approach is grounded in experiential therapy—a process of fostering a deep relationship with oneself and one's moment-to-moment experience—to ensure that my clients cultivate, understand, and truly feel the changes occurring in therapy. This approach is combined with traditional talk therapy and psychoeducation. As a therapist, I strive to be both a companion and trusted guide in my work. It is important to me that you feel truly accompanied as we encounter the process of healing and becoming that is psychotherapy.
Outside of therapy, my life centers around music (I actively play around Austin with some other rapidly aging musicians in a post-punk western band— think Joy Division meets Roy Orbison), my family (I am a new father to an amazing daughter and am lucky to have a wonderful partner), and trying to expand my experience of this surprising and expansive life. With my clients, I am purely myself. It is important to me that you feel accompanied by a real person. Feel free to ask me any questions about myself or my approach.
