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 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!
