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 is really knowledgeable and engaging. He's able to provide insight, resources, and feedback which helps validate and challenge certain pathways of thinking. I appreciate the way he listens and responds in an authentic manner while maintaining a large amount of professionalism. It can be quite challenging to find a therapist which matches your changing needs, and I'm glad I was matched with Mark.
