“The body has been designed to renew itself through continuous self-correction. These same principles also apply to the healing of psyche, spirit, and soul.”
Peter A. Levine, PhD
Approach
As a therapist, Michael believes in the transformative power of human connections on our overall well-being. He recognizes that our relationships with others serve as the cornerstone of our physical and mental health. However, he also acknowledges that many of us struggle to find genuine ease and trust in these connections due to various life experiences, and perhaps have never been able to be fully at ease with other human beings.
As a neuroscience and evolutionary biology-informed psychotherapist, Michael’s specialty lies in understanding how our brain and biology shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. He uses this knowledge to help individuals navigate and overcome challenges in their lives. In everyday terms, imagine your mind as a complex garden, and Michael is here to help you tend to it.
For Michael, therapy is not merely about problem-solving but also about fostering self-awareness, and personal growth and he believes it is important for us to connect with our bodies and tune into the signals they are giving us, treating them as a unique form of intelligence.
Michael is deeply passionate about the human experience and brings a unique blend of spirituality and science to his work. Picture your sessions as a collaborative exploration, where you blend the wisdom of spirituality with evidence-based trauma healing methods rooted in the knowledge of neuroscience.
"I found Michael's somatic approach to be very insightful and helpful. I became more aware of the connection between my mind and body that I had previously had a tendency to overlook.
Michael established a secure and validating environment where I felt at ease sharing my thoughts.
During our sessions, I not only felt listened to but also learned a great deal about my body's responses to various emotions and situations, an insight that I continue to rely on now in everyday life. I'm grateful for Michael's expertise and compassionate guidance during this time."
