My goal is to be the last therapist you have to see, that when we are done working together you have the skills to be able to manage life on your own. I love facilitating change and would love to help you develop a better way of being. I have found that developing a better relationship with yourself is essential for many people to achieve their goals. Self-awareness is not self-criticism. Having had experience working with many different people from many different backgrounds and issues has helped me to see how I can fit the tools I carry into something useful for you.
Our initial meeting will be a mix of information gathering and introduction of key concepts. I like to front load information about the mechanics of how we tick as human beings.
I genuinely want nothing more that to help facilitate growth and awareness. I am always grateful when I earn a clients trust.
To get the most out of working with me you need to have a desire to change and be ready to work, otherwise I’m just an expensive friend. J

I always appreciate Mark's clarifying questions because they force me to truly think about what I'm saying. This activity helps me get to a place of relief or resolution or both. Mark's approach signifies an ability to listen deeply and keep track of my different life experiences and background, and how they contribute to my world view or opinions about life in general. He is a skilled therapist who I'd recommend to others seeking culturally sensitive care.

I have lucked out when finding therapists and thought no one could top my last one. But Mark is truly amazing and the transition from my last therapist to Mark was seamless and the first session was impactful and didn't just feel like I was only bringing him up to speed. Every session has been helpful regardless if it is a heavy topic or just one where it is more inquisitive topics being thrown around.
