We all experience life in a unique way. That experience can include joyous highs and painful lows - and everything in between. No matter where you are at, you may feel lost, unfulfilled, or just off-track. Gifting yourself time, space, and attention to openly express yourself can often help bring clarity to the next step and beyond. I am here to help.

A Conscious Conversation is a moment to explore and discover your truth, to name and heal your hurt, to step into your fears and live above them. Sometimes being heard without judgment can bring about confidence. Sometimes a new perspective can spark a new direction. Your conscious living is needed in every moment.

I have a Masters Degree in Psychology and teach college level psychology. I am also an adaptive change Master Trainer. I believe my education, career, and life are grounded in connection with others which helps me teach, guide, and yes, learn with others.

It all begins with a conscious conversation. I am available for face-to-face meetings in the general northeastern Pa area as well as online (variety of technologies available).

"If you’re not content or happy with where you’re at, confused about life or simply unsure what to do next, I suggest you start scheduling Conscious Conversations with Michael! The past year and a half spent working with him has been nothing short of remarkable- actually, miraculous- in helping me find clarity, direction and love in my own life. Every session is full of intellectual theory and heartfelt content guided by his zest-to-live approach, designed to help you find your truest self. His ability to see you holistically yet also be in tune with specific issues and blocks is spot on. He will address the elephant in the room with a sense of ease and lightheartedness that simply forces you to start digging into the unknown, fully believing you’ll emerge with grace and courage to tackle any adventure. If you’re ready to do the work, have fun and reclaim the life you’ve been given, he'll be your guide!" ~ Athena
