A note from Michael
Welcome and thank you for taking that first step. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My 10+ years of experience in crisis intervention, hospice care, and mental health have given me an extraordinary appreciation for life. Sometimes we struggle with BIG things, like suicidal thoughts or uncontrolled anxiety, while other times we are just trying to "get through". Regardless of where you are I would love the opportunity to speak to you. I am a Christian, and I respect how important our faith is to our well-being; however, I am happy to work with any and all.
