About Michael…

I work with individuals and couples in my 20-year practice as a clinical psychologist. I have been certified in Imago for 15 years, having been part of an ongoing consultation group throughout. I am also a Certified Imago Consultant and a lead monthly consultation group for other Imago therapists.
Marriage preparation is a particular specialty in my practice. I have worked with over 1,500 couples preparing to marry, primarily through the church. I developed and lead “The Foundation: Wisdom & Tools to Build A Conscious Marriage” five times per year. This Imago-based workshop is especially suited for committed, engaged, and newly married couples.
I am also an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and integrate that work into my practice.
