Welcome, I'm Michael. As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, I specialise in helping people find lasting relief from anxiety and OCD. I hold a Master's in Social Work from New York University, and bring over a decade of experience in the field of mental health. My own journey with anxiety began during adolescence in Vancouver. In my search for healing, I spent years studying meditation and plant medicine in Japan and Peru. Through these experiences, I learned that there isn’t a single miracle cure, but a variety of skills and strategies we can use to nurture well-being.
In our sessions, we'll work together to find the most effective approaches for you: whether it's ERP for anxiety and OCD, EMDR for trauma, or mindfulness techniques to cultivate greater peace. My approach is warm, relational, and relaxed. I'll support you in growing beyond your old limiting patterns toward a more fulfilling experience of life.
Wherever you are on your journey, I promise to meet you with curiosity and care. I am committed to creating a safe, trusting environment where you can heal and grow. Schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation today, and let’s explore how you can start moving toward freedom from OCD and anxiety.
