About me

When we want to change, developing emotional awareness helps the healing process. I have held space with my clients to discover this for 18 years using a variety of techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sometimes who we need is a collaborator and coach and at other times someone to validate our experience and I will be this for you. I believe the quality of our working relationship is essential to the quality of your outcomes and we will make sure to incorporate this feedback.
Ultimately I would like you to say everything.
Many of the people I have worked with over the years have had experiences with substance use or feeling marginalized by how they identify. Together we will develop strategies towards resilience and steps toward change.

I like the feedback the therapist gives. He is not afraid to give a suggestion or feedback.

Even if there are days I feel the worse, having him understand that I want to get off my chest is nice. I never usually express myself but the sessions just kind of bring it out that expressing how I feel, it feels good to do to understand myself.

Mark has been soo helpful and kind, he’s got a lot of experience on top of that. I had been out of therapy for quite some time and using better help for a resource to locate someone led me to discovering Mark.
It’s been great getting the opportunity to share my heart. I feel like I’ve been heard, and in return he’s giving me tools to help me along the way!
So here’s a shout out to Mark! Thank you for all you do for me!
