Meet Mike I am a Veteran with lived experience in Mental Health and practicing clinician since 2015. As a Board Certified Mind-Body Bridging Therapist, my work focuses on evoking the inner healer within ourselves to achieve the life we desire. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping people reach their goals, therefore enjoy working with doctors, massage therapists, natural healers, and other professionals to best meet my clients needs. I have been a proud husband since 2009, and a blessed father of 2 children. Aside from striving to be worthy of this family and living an honorable life, my passions are therapy and fitness. I have learned to make sense of the human mind and behaviors through the I-System model of care, which makes sense of personal behaviors and our relationship with the world around us. As a passionate learner, I continued my learning in pursuing certification and self-taught skills to travel the journey of recovery with those I serve. I practice the teachings of “Becoming Your Best” with those who work with me and practice it myself. I believe any dream is achievable with the right amount of effort and know-how. I prefer the I-System Model of care and engage in evidence-based treatments to interact with and promote harmonious living within the system. My favorite quote “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt
