The 3-3-3 rule for grounding a spiraling mind
A simple, do-it-anywhere practice for the moments when worry takes the wheel.
Read article →A private practice for people who want to optimize the entire human — not just manage symptoms. Holistic therapy and coaching, integrated with bloodwork, hormones, sleep, and performance. It starts with knowing exactly what's driving how you feel.
Treating your mind and body as one system doesn't just feel better — it works better. Here's the edge you get when everything is optimized together.
When therapy, hormones, sleep, and nutrition are optimized together, the improvements reinforce each other — faster progress and results that actually last.
Therapist and a life, wellness, health, relationship, and financial coach — real support across every part of your life, not just one hour of it.
Schedule any time, 24/7, and call whenever you need me. A steady pillar you can lean on — not a once-a-week appointment.
A trained communicator and strategist who breaks hard things down into plain words you can actually use.
A lifelong competitor across football, basketball, soccer, tennis, wrestling, and boxing — I bring that same discipline to your corner.
Broadcast-quality video and a calm, professional setting — none of the grainy webcams and dropped calls of typical teletherapy.
Your mind runs on your biology. Mood, focus, drive, and resilience are shaped by your hormones, sleep, nutrition, and inflammation as much as by your thoughts. So we measure first — then optimize everything, together.
Low energy, brain fog, and low mood often have physical drivers. We test for them instead of guessing.
Comprehensive bloodwork and biomarkers give us a real baseline — and proof of progress over time.
Therapy, hormones, sleep, nutrition, and performance compound when they're managed as one, not in silos.
Every journey begins with a complete picture of you — mind and body — turned into a plan you can actually follow. This isn't an intake appointment. It's the foundation of everything we do.
A complete written analysis of exactly where you stand — your current bloodwork, your current health status, and every area of mental health to address — built into a personalized 12-month plan you can hold, understand, and act on.
Explore the assessment →After your assessment, we don't hand you a report and disappear. Your plan becomes an ongoing, coordinated relationship — here's what you're paying for.
Holistic therapy plus life, health, wellness, and performance coaching — your dedicated point person for all of it.
Ongoing labs and hormone optimization through your licensed physician partner, so your plan adjusts as you change.
Personalized nutrition guidance and exercise programming built around your biology and your goals.
Sleep optimization and recovery strategy — because how you rest drives how you think, feel, and perform.
Quarterly reviews against your baseline, so your improvement is measured and proven — not assumed.
Reach your team anytime, with everyone working from the same page — securely and privately.
Medical services — bloodwork, hormone testing, and prescriptions — are delivered by independently licensed physician partners. Advanced diagnostics (DEXA body composition, VO₂ max, imaging, continuous glucose monitoring) and the care dashboard are being added as the program expands.
Low energy, brain fog, poor sleep, low drive, slow recovery, mood that won't lift — these are often hormonal, not just mental. Before we assume it's all in your head, we look at your body. Every path here can start with comprehensive bloodwork through my partnered, independently licensed physician.
Unlike my therapy practice — which takes only a limited number of clients — hormone care has no limit. Get your labs started right away and take the first real step toward feeling like yourself again.
Explore hormone & peptide therapy →I'm a holistic therapist — and a life, wellness, health, relationship, and financial coach. I started Pillar Integrative Care because care is too fragmented: your mind, your body, and the rest of your life rarely get treated as one. I work with the whole person, not a diagnosis, through intentional, one-on-one work.
Four years ago I survived a serious traumatic brain injury. Coming back from it taught me how deeply the body and mind are linked — it's why I specialize in TBI recovery, and why every client begins with bloodwork through my hormone-health partner, so we rule out anything physical before we go deep. I'm a trained communicator and strategist who makes complicated things simple in plain words, a lifelong athlete across football, basketball, soccer, tennis, wrestling, and boxing, and I meet every client over broadcast-quality video in a calm, professional setting — not the grainy webcam most teletherapy settles for.
I'm not just a therapist. I'm meant to be a steady pillar you can lean on — available, relatable, and invested in helping you improve across every part of your life.
Your care starts with a simple, powerful step: bloodwork. Before we go deep, we make sure nothing physical is quietly driving how you feel. Therapy and hormone health work together, from day one.
Holistic, one-on-one therapy and coaching — the foundation of your care, and your point person for everything else.
Bloodwork first. A partnered physician checks for hormone and underlying health issues that can quietly affect mood, energy, focus, and recovery — coordinated directly with your therapy.
Every provider is independently licensed and responsible for their own care. We coordinate only with your written consent, and your information is always handled in a HIPAA-compliant way.
Therapy is the heart of the practice today. These are the areas I work in most often — all one-on-one, all rooted in holistic, natural healing.
One-on-one support for anxiety, depression, self-worth, and the patterns that keep you stuck.
Specialized support for life after a traumatic brain injury — from someone who has lived it and understands the road back.
Gentle, structured processing of past experiences so they no longer run the present.
Practical strategies for focus, follow-through, and self-trust — built around how your mind actually works.
Tools to quiet a racing mind, set boundaries, and recover from chronic stress and overwhelm.
A judgment-free space to unpack pressure, expectations, and identity — at whatever pace feels right.
I take on a strictly limited number of clients. That's it. It lets me be fully present, deeply available, and genuinely invested in your life — the way real support should feel.
An intentionally small practice, so you're never one of hundreds. You get my full attention.
Book whatever time works best for you — any day, any hour. Your life sets the schedule, not my calendar.
No cancellation fees, ever. I never book within two hours of your session — so if you're late or we run long, it's completely fine.
Call 24/7, no notice needed. If I'm free, I answer. If I'm not, reaching you back becomes my priority.
We keep a simple running tab, settled once at month's end. During our time together, money is the last thing on your mind.
We start with labs through my hormone-health partner, so we rule out any physical driver before we dig into the rest.
More than a therapist — a pillar you can rely on. Fee terms are confirmed in a simple written agreement before we begin.
Choose any day or hour that works for you and tell me a little about what's going on. No pressure.
My hormone-health partner runs labs to rule out any physical driver before we go deep.
We get to know each other and map out what brought you here — no rushing, no clock-watching.
An always-available relationship, paced entirely to your life — someone in your corner for the long run.
"Michael created a space where I finally felt safe enough to be honest with myself. A year later I barely recognize the anxious person who first walked in.
I'd put off therapy for years. Michael made the first session feel like a conversation, not an interview. I left every week feeling lighter.
The EMDR work helped me process something I'd carried for a decade. Michael never rushed me — he met me exactly where I was.
After my divorce I felt completely lost. Working with Michael gave me back a sense of direction and, honestly, of myself.
Warm, sharp, and genuinely kind. He gave me practical tools I still use, and never made me feel like a problem to be solved.
Telehealth with Michael was just as personal as being in the room. I always felt heard, even through a screen.
Grief had me stuck for a long time. Michael helped me find a way to carry it that didn't crush me. I'm so grateful I reached out.

Not personally — as a therapist, my work is talk-based and holistic, and I don't prescribe or manage medication. What I do offer is coordination: every client starts with bloodwork through my hormone-health partner, an independently licensed physician, so we rule out physical causes and handle any hormone needs by the right professional — always kept in sync with your care and shared only with your consent.
This is a private-pay practice — no insurance. Your first scheduled hour is $899, and each additional hour in the same session is $589. Rather than paying visit by visit, we keep a simple running tab that's settled once at the end of the month — so money is never on your mind during our time together. All major cards and HSA/FSA are accepted, and the terms are confirmed in a written agreement before we begin.
Both. I see clients in person at my local office, and I offer secure telehealth sessions to clients wherever you are.
As long as it needs to be. I never book anyone within two hours of your session, so there's no clock-watching — if we need more time, we take it, and if you're running late, that's completely fine. Your first hour is $899 and each additional hour that same day is $589.
That's completely okay — many of my clients are first-timers. There's no "right" way to start. We go entirely at your pace, and requesting a time is a low-pressure place to begin.
Whatever you're carrying, there's room for it here. Take the first small step today.
