Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Michael
Hello! I would like to welcome you to Better Help, where you will find caring and personal support and discover effective ways to break free from those issues that are holding you back from achieving your dreams in life. I believe that every one of us has a calling or purpose in life, and the journey to discovering and walking in that purpose should be both exciting and challenging. I like to view myself as a “life coach” and that is the framework that we will use if you decide to join with me in overcoming those obstacles that have been in your way.
I have been a social worker for more than 30 years and have experience working with people from many backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with individuals struggling with relationship disappointments, fear and crippling stress, with couples dealing with marital strife and with parents trying to navigate the ever changing landscape of family life. There are many other issues that I have been able to assist with including coping with the challenges in a blended families, workplace stress, financial concerns, and men’s issues.
We can work together in whatever manner you are most comfortable with, including phone and texting and sometimes video sessions if that is your preference. My availability is mostly during daytime hours during the week with some evening times and a handful of afternoon times on weekends, but I do check and respond to messages every day.
I look forward to to working together with you in this noble endeavor that you have decided to embark upon with us here at Betterhelp.

What clients say
- “He is good at quickly picking up on what is wrong. And points it out in a way I didn’t see it. The only thing I have troubled is listening to his prerecorded messages. Sometimes they sound very quiet and I have to use a Bluetooth device to be able listen to them. But they are good msgs”
- “Great listener and provides excellent feedback”
- “Great guy. He listens. That one “friend” you can call on with no judgement. Free to be me”
