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 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!

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!

Mark was a professional, straight to the point, and extremely down to earth therapist. He was easy to speak with and made it a very comfortable experience. I appreciate his insights and his ability to "call me out" in a gentle and professional way during our chats. If you are someone (like me), who struggles with being completely transparent- Mark is the therapist for you! Ekosani, Thank You!

I have great therapy sessions with Mark where I feel open to share what’s going on in my life. He’s a great listener and assigns me homework on things I need to work on personally. I’ve never done therapy before, and I’ve noticed a positive change in my life since I’ve started my therapy sessions with Mark. Highly recommend him as a therapist!

The day after my first session with Mark, my friends and family said I sounded like myself again for the first time in weeks. He has changed my life and I am so glad to continue working with him - he gives me so much hope for my future.

I’ve been working with Mark for a few months now, and I have to say he is the best therapist i’ve ever seen.
