What is Psychodrama?
This will be one of the most profound and trajectory-altering experiences of your life. Psychodrama is a powerful, experiential inner work method that brings buried emotions, unconscious patterns, and internal conflicts into the light through guided role-play, symbolism, and storytelling. Unlike traditional talk-based approaches, psychodrama engages your body and imagination and offers the unique, and deeply vulnerable experience of inviting trusted friends to support you and bare witness to your work.
This process allows participants to externalize and project their inner struggles outward in order to see them clearly. Whether working through past wounds, exploring unresolved conflicts, or stepping into a new, empowered identity, psychodrama helps bring clarity, healing, and transformation.

"I have worked alongside Michael in group Psychodrama sessions for nearly 10 years, attended trainings with him and personally benefitted from his facilitation of my own inner work. He has incredible skill in listening and following my inner map to co-create a powerful embodied experience. Through playful movement, re-enactment of memories and creative exploration of options, I’ve discovered truths about myself I’d never have known and been liberated from limited beliefs that kept me from experiencing my full potential. I can’t speak highly enough about Michael’s skills and intuition as an inner-work facilitator!"

What to Expect from Working with Michael
I bring a trauma-informed, intuitive, non-anxious, yet focused approach to psychodrama facilitation. Your experience will be:
-
Highly experiential – You are the director of your inner drama. I provide guidance, evocative questions, and intuitive suggestions, but this is YOUR space to engage your work
-
Emotionally safe – Every psychodrama experience is designed with clear boundaries, respect, and support. Significant time and attention is given to establishing a transformative container for the expeerience (i.e. setting boundaries, expectations, getting clear with others in the group etc.)
-
Tailored to your needs – Whether you’re focused on personal healing, relational wounding, or you're requiring clarity on your next steps in life, we'll customize the experience to cultivate the life-energy rising up within you.
Psychodrama work includes the following.
-
Free 20-Minute Discovery Call – Let’s connect to explore your needs, intentions, and whether psychodrama is the right fit for you or your group.
-
Two 45-Minute Intention-Setting Zoom Calls – Before the psychodrama session, we’ll clarify goals, identify themes, and ensure a supportive structure for your experience. This is also a time to address any questions or concerns about the process.
-
Psychodrama Experience – A guided, immersive session (approx. 2 hours) is designed to bring your inner world to life through role-play, movement, and deep relational exploration. This is the group space where you'll engage with stuck emotion/energy, unconscious relational patterns, and discover new paths forward, which felt unattainable previously.
-
Discount on Ongoing 1:1 Shadow Work – For those who want to continue integrating their experience, I offer reduced pricing for private coaching sessions to deepen and sustain your transformation.
