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.

Mark has been great! The level of care and tools he’s provided thus far outweigh my previous therapy experiences.

I have yet to have anything other than a superb experience with Mark. He’s always thoughtful with his responses while still keeping a relaxed environment even with heavier topics

So far Mark has provided great insight into my problematic situation by offering activities and behaviors that will allow me to better control my conditions.

I was skeptical of using a laptop for therapy. But then I got matched with Mark. He is amazing. I looked around at the therapists in my area and none of them had the experience or the personality of Mark. I was hooked after our first session. And it showed me what could be achieved through laptop therapy. I am so glad I decided to give Betterhelp.com a try!

Mark has been a great help to me within the past months. Especially with cognitive behaviors and helping with LGBTQ+ matters. Looking forward to continuing my growth.

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