Joining Critical Therapy, Michael is using his teaching experience to expand and enhance our training curriculum and classes, while focusing on the administrative and organizational structure policies to help with the growth of the Institute.
His experiences in education, activism, and spiritual practice led him to believe in integrated approaches to healing and the conviction that personal and systemic transformation are interconnected. In his approach to psychotherapy, Michael integrates interpersonal psychodynamic work with mindfulness-based practices and a commitment to social justice.
