About
Michael
I really enjoy helping clients meet their therapy goals while gently fostering a strong alliance. Perhaps I may help you accomplish some milestones that are just beyond your grasp. I use a client centered approach, meeting the client they are. My background is in analytical psychology, though I employ a number of techniques and strategies to help you achieve your goals. I look forward to sitting across from you.
In my spare time you may find him hiking the trails around Mt Shasta or sailing on Whiskeytown lake. Working on the classic car or getting in the breeze on the Harley.
