Root Cause Psychotherapy
A Root Cause Approach Relieves Current Symptoms and Heals the Underlying Core Issues for Lasting Freedom
Welcome!
Congratulations on investing in yourself to make productive changes in your life.
Psychotherapy gets a bad rap. It merely provides a space or laboratory for you to discover new approaches to your life.
We form a team. I create a safe space. You explore. I listen. I point out new perspectives and possibilities. You try them on for size.
Together, we'll forge new approaches to overcome challenges and create the life you truly want.
What would your life be like if you were free from anxiety, relationship stress, and emotional pain?
Root Cause Psychotherapy provides immediate relief and lasting freedom from your symptoms and suffering.
So, in addition to alleviating your current symptoms, this approach also addresses the cause of these symptoms.
But the good news is you don't have to bear the weight of them on your own.
As it turns out, there is some rhyme and reason to relationship issues. An experienced relationship specialist can identify patterns and offer effective strategies.
So why not receive some support and guidance?
How Root Cause Psychotherapy Works
Phase 1
Provide Relief for Your Current Symptoms
The first priority is to relieve the stress, pain, and suffering of your current symptoms. With your life experience and my knowledge of anxiety, depression, and isolation, we'll work together to effectively manage your symptoms.
Phase 2
Heal the Root Cause of Your Symptoms
Now that you've identified your symptoms, we can trace them to identify your underlying core issues. Healing these core emotional issues frees you from future symptoms and helps you enjoy happiness, love, and freedom in your life.
Phase 3
Create the Life You Truly Want
Now that your symptoms don't define what you can and can't have in your life, you are free to create the life you choose for yourself. Ongoing guidance and support help you integrate the things you value into your relationships and daily life.
Hi, I'm Michael
I began my understanding of psychotherapy while seeking freedom from my own emotional pain.
I'm eternally grateful to have found a highly skilled therapist who guided me to unplug the things blocking me from what mattered most to me. So I know what it's like to be on your side of this.
I bring 30 years of postgraduate experience and extensive training to create a personalized program tailored to your specific life and situation.
I specialize in relationship issues and intimacy; Life transitions such as divorce and empty nest; and anxiety, depression, and emotional pain.
So let me know if I can guide you. Perhaps it's working with me or somebody else. But find someone you can work with. It's worth it. You owe it to yourself.
If you'd like, schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I'm easy to talk to. I'll help you get the ball rolling.

Word on the Street
"The real core of the work I did with Michael is seeing how I have always been looking outward to define myself. What I have found in working with him is that I already had the resources within me to actually create the changes I wanted to make. For me, this has been the pivotal change. I have to say, Michael held my feet to the fire and that is what I really needed. He helped me get in touch with trusting my heart and moving from that place."
