I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with seven years of experience across inpatient care and graduate-level training. I’ve worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and many other mental health challenges. Spending time with people in their most difficult moments has shaped how I show up: supportive, patient, and nonjudgmental.

Hey - I'm Mike and as you can see from my photo I like to keep things on the more casual side with my clients. I weave fun, jokes, and genuine questions about your personal life into our care plan. If you're looking for a Psychiatric provider who is all business - I'm probably not the right fit. But if you're looking to work with someone who is down to earth, and willing to go the extra mile to be your true partner and confidant on this journey, I'd love to meet you. As a lifelong New Yorker, I understand the unique pressures, pace, and complexity of life here — and I use that insight to offer care that actually fits your world.
Born in the Gateway of the amazon, and raised in numerous different countries; I would best be described as a Global Citizen. My unique background has allowed me to understand that individuals don't fit in a box.
I have provided psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of mental health issues using a variety of techniques, from behavioral to psychoanalytic at practices including The Karen Horney Clinic, Trinitas Regional Medical Center, and Miami Children’s Hospital.
