Therapy for trauma and sexual well-being in Edmond and Oklahoma City

I help adults work through trauma, intimacy concerns, and relationship challenges with a direct and practical approach that considers both the mind and body.

If trauma, intimacy problems, body image concerns, or relationship challenges are affecting your life, we can look at what is actually driving the problem rather than only managing the symptoms. Together, we'll identify where you feel stuck, understand the emotional and physical responses involved, and work toward changes you can carry into your relationships and everyday life.

I use evidence-based approaches, including Brainspotting, EMDR, and talk therapy, to help you process difficult experiences and develop new ways of responding to them. Whether you want to reduce anxiety, work through trauma, improve intimacy, or strengthen a relationship, our work is shaped around what you want to be different in your life.

My Experience Is Your Investment

By working with Michael, you are investing in your overall health. You receive a clinician who has earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in nutrition and dietetics, giving him a deep understanding of how the human body functions and how it impacts mental health.

Michael has earned his MSW and LCSW, completed specialized training in autism and intersectionality through the LEND (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities) fellowship, and has received training in EMDR, DBT, and is Brainspotting certified. He has also completed 165 hours of continuing education in sex therapy. With over 15 years of experience helping people navigate sexuality and sexual health, Michael brings rare depth to this work.

He is a clinician personally dedicated to health and brings that same commitment and engagement to helping you.

What I Help With

• Trauma and past experiences that continue to impact how you think and respond

• Sexual concerns, including low libido, performance anxiety, and difficulty with intimacy

• Identity development, including sexual orientation and gender exploration

• Neurodivergence (autism and ADHD)

Approach

My approach is structured and direct, but therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I integrate Brainspotting, EMDR, and talk therapy based on what we are working on and how you respond. We may process past experiences, work with emotional or physical reactions that keep showing up, or develop practical ways to handle situations differently outside of therapy.

Who I Work With

I work with adults and older adolescents, including people in the LGBTQIA+ and kink communities, as well as those navigating body image, identity, intimacy, and relationship concerns. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin with what is happening in your life now and determine together what needs attention.

If you're looking for a therapist who will be engaged, straightforward, and willing to talk openly about difficult or personal subjects, you can schedule a consultation to see if we're a good fit.
