PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY
Mike has extensive experience working alongside humans both locally and internationally. He has experience as a classroom teacher as well experience in acute inpatient hospitalization settings. He always loved helping people but it wasn't until I got a chance to work with people going through challenges with their mental health, that I realized how much I enjoyed helping them. That's when I knew I wanted to be a therapist.
