I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in New York, with over 6 years of experiences in the field of mental health and addictions. I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, couples and family relationships as well as the challenges related to parenting. I have also worked with individuals affected by trauma and both emotional and physical abuse.
My therapy style is both warm and interactive. My desire for each client is for them to realize their value as a person and to treat each individual with respect, dignity, compassion and sensitivity. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive processing theory, and solution-focused therapy with a strengths-based approach. I will tailor the your treatment plan to meet your specific need so you can move toward reaching your goal.
Seeking help and desiring change requires strength and courage. You have already taken the first step to a better tomorrow by reaching out. If you are ready to take the next step toward a happier and more fulfilling life, I will be here to support and empower you on your journey.
I look forward to working with you!

My therapist understands my situation and that is important to me.
Written on Feb 26, 2024 after therapy with Mark for 2 weeks on issues concerning grief
Mark listens and shares his thoughts in a loving way. I have never felt judged, but supported and encouraged in my struggles.
Written on Nov 19, 2023 after therapy with Mark for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues
Mark is very easy to talk with. It is more of a conversation than a therapy session and thus very comfortable, yet helpful and rewarding.
