I am originally from California but have lived in Texas for a couple of years now. I am bilingual and biliterate in Spanish. I am licensed in California and Texas. I love what I do and most importantly I have a passion for helping others.
I have a vast amount of experience working with the geriatric, children and adolescents and chronically ill population. These work settings have sharpened many skills, especially in crisis intervention, safety planning, emotional support and connecting clients to community referrals.
I believe that having a strong therapeutic relationship is the key factor to successful therapy.
Therefore, I am committed to delivering exemplary client support while encouraging and empowering clients toward improved self-esteem and decision-making. I strive to provide a safe space filled with warmth, compassion, empathy and a sense of calmness for clients to be vulnerable and free. My client-centered approach along with a blend of other therapeutic modalities allows me to connect with clients while allowing them to be themselves and guide their session to where they are at that moment in time.
As your therapist, I vow to always offer you a safe space where you will feel seen, heard and empowered in exchange for your true authentic self.

Here, she played a vital role in assisting over 1500 veterans returning from the Persian Gulf War.

In 2004, she made the transition to full-time private practice, allowing her to focus on a broader range of clients.

Therapist / Clinical Hypnosis
“I have had long term anxiety which stemmed from childhood trauma. I have also struggled with being able to just let go and love myself. It all felt so heavy. After working with Micah. It has changed my life! I walked out feeling a new level of freedom, joy, love and calm that I haven’t had in my entire life and I no longer suffer from anxiety. Something I didn’t think was possible. I cannot recommend Micah highly enough!” - 29Bek
️
“Working with Micah was an incredible experience. I felt safe and supported the whole time, allowing me to do the deep emotional and mental work I needed to do to solve my issue. I would see him again, if I ever needed to. Thank you Micah!” - Valerie
️
“When I booked my appointment with Micah I was feeling frustrated in all areas of my life. Especially in my relationship and work. I was over emotional when I believed someone was not understanding my side or point of view. I was not happy and felt like I was stuck and not accomplishing anything. I now am a happier person after one session with Micah. I have realized what I needed to do to not feel the frustration I had. I no longer take on others wants and needs as more important than my own. I can see my life changing for the better on a daily basis now. I would not hesitate to contact Micah again if other issues arise that I need help with in the future.” - Robin
️
“Following just one session with Micah I have a new understanding of certain events from the past and I feel as if I've really accepted them. That's a big deal. A really big deal. The voice of self-doubt has either not been there, or has been much more muted, and this has translated to getting much more done and enjoying the process. Micah is an amazing professional and I would recommend his work to anyone.” - Duncan
️
“Micah is excellent. He really knew what questions to ask to make me see things from a completely different perspective. He's a real professional. Thanks Micah!” - Terence
️
“I am really glad I found Micah. I was struggling with depression, anxiety and PTSD and tried various different medications...in the first session he managed to uncover the origin and start the healing process of one of my deepest and worst traumas. I have found myself happier, more confident and assertive at work and in my personal life...I wish I found him sooner!” - Ahmed
