Heal your emotions, relationships, family & career—from the ground up.
Access personalized, professional, and effective mental and emotional trauma healing from the comfort of your own home.
Welcome
The reason we feel stuck and suffer so much with our emotions, our thoughts, and our relationships is that we pull our emotional weeds from the top. When that happens, the pain grows right back. The only way out is to pull them from the root. At Heal From the Ground Up, Michael helps people heal the root causes of emotional, relationship, family, and work challenges: the emotional traumas we don't even know we carry, yet keep replaying in our lives. Only by healing them can you be free to live out your true, authentic self.
Tending to the roots, not the symptoms
"Problems bring up feelings in us that existed before the problem ever happened."
Michael’s revolutionary approach offers profound processes and core solutions to a world stuck in emotional pain. We are stuck because we fixate on treating the symptoms while ignoring the root cause—much like painting the yellow leaves of a wilting plant green without giving it the necessary sunlight and water.
One common symptom we focus on is solving the "problem" while neglecting the underlying feelings that existed before the problem ever happened. For example, someone with social anxiety might seek to feel “more confident” and eliminate their intrusive thoughts of being judged by others. However, the judgment of others only triggers a pre-existing feeling of not being enough.
None of these feelings that you will uncover are true about who you really are, but in your sessions with Michael, you will understand where they are really coming from to truly be free of them.

"Mike is such an amazing person! Full of tons of wisdom! He helped me unpack some struggles I've been carrying for years and had no idea I even had. He was able to unpack my story in such a short period of time and yet brought about some amazing results for me mentally. I'm walking away feeling like a new man but now understanding just a little bit more of why I am the way I am."

"Michael is a true specialist in his craft. I believe that everyone can benefit from talking to someone in effort to improve upon oneself and live a more fruitful life. In doing so, you should seek individuals who have great insight and ability to uncover the underlying issue. Michael is such an individual. He not only has the skill to help you identify the root cause but provides you with the tools to repair and grow. I recommend him to ANY and EVERYONE of all ages. I strongly recommend preteens to be seen by him, as much of what we struggle with stems from our childhood years. He has been instrumental in healing our most precious hearts."

Michael has an amazing process, and makes you feel extremely comfortable when speaking about your emotions. We have been doing the online sessions, and he makes it feel like you are sitting in his office. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to uncover the root of their emotions.

I've been working with Michael for a little over a month, he does a great job getting to the root of a problem. He is easy to talk to and gives good examples of concepts that are a little difficult to understand. My husband started working with Michael first and he loved it so much I signed up and im so glad i did. I've been working through my anxiety, bullying issues at work, and my anger. He gives you tools and things to reflect on to help you process and grow. Thank you Micheal for helping me through some of the toughest times!

Our society admires strength and looks down upon vulnerability thinking to be vulnerable is to be weak. We misuse “strength” to push away how we feel. It’s actually much easier to avoid
