I am licensed in Florida and North Carolina with 34 years of professional clinical experience. I have extensive experience in helping clients undergoing major life transitions, finding ways to cope with stress and anxiety, dealing with LGBTQ+ and other identity related issues, with family conflicts, sexual struggles, & depression. I work with clients to collaboratively create an open and safe environment where difficult thoughts and feelings can be shared, explored, and faced without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to gaining better understanding about ourselves takes courage, but can usually lead to a more fulfilling and happier life. I am here to support you in that process.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hospice and end-of-life counseling, Life purpose, Men's issues, Midlife crisis, Polyamory / non-monogamous relationships, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Sexuality
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy

Talking with Mark has really helped me unravel my thoughts so that I can make sense of what I feel and come up with a better plan for the future.
