Bio

Michael has been in the behavioral health field since 2011.  He specializes in providing mindfulness in a welcoming and refreshing manner and believes that DBT not only treats various symptoms but also considers it to be a broad life application theory. 

​

Michael was drawn to DBT for the cognitive and behavioral aspects which are highly structured and well organized, along with a strong body of evidence-based research supporting its effectiveness.  Michael enjoys working with his clients within a collaborative alliance.  Personally, he has seen his clients who diligently follow the DBT protocol define and create a life worth living.

​

Michael is also an avid cyclist and enjoys exploring Atlanta’s food scene with his family during his spare time.  He is abundantly grateful to be part and play a role in the treatment team at Atlanta DBT Center.
