I am a counselor with 20 plus years experience. I have the most expertise in terms of substance abuse and LGBT issues. I am in recovery with long term sobriety. I also experienced working with mood disorders and anxiety. I am compassionate and the years of experience I have in the field have basically given me insight into all sorts of client issues. I tend to use humor and rapport building as tools, as I believe that if there is no relationship/trust between therapist and client, therapy will not be productive. I have a genuine compassion for others and am at my best when helping my clients.

Mark has saved my life. He makes me heard and I believe really understands me. I feel like I can be fully honest and open with him. Your company is so so so lucky to have him.

over the past few months Mark has showed me and helped me cope with past feelings and trauma.. I love that he can listen and give me advice but also talks to me about himself and his struggles. I really enjoy the conversations I have had with Mark.
