If you’re looking for an individual or couples therapist who is direct, honest, and kind then we are likely a match. I understand tackling anxiety, depression, or those pesky past family issues is complicated. Healing PTSD from sexual trauma or infidelity, exploring your sexuality or gender, and family wounds are all issues continually impacting our human experience. These are things I can help with. Additionally, I am deeply familiar with exploring trans identity both individually and in relationships. I also have intimate understanding of how Disability and Autism can impact your idea of self, safety, and the world around you.

Current openings! Many people think their problems aren't bad enough to seek help and continue suffering in the status quo - but if you're reading this, you must be getting exhausted! You might be wondering why you have such big reactions to minor inconveniences, or why things seem to come easy for everyone else. You've probably tried all the "self care" and are frustrated that you're still struggling. I have a particular interest in working with late or self diagnosed neurodivergent women and chronic illness sufferers. If your anxiety or pain is increasing, or you just have a sense that things are "off," maybe I can help!

I am a marriage and family therapist that helps individuals and couples navigate the challenges of modern life. We explore how roles in family, relational, social, and cultural networks influence the whole person. The client is the expert on their story and my role is to help translate that narrative through our combined knowledge. Clients I work with often feel they have all the outside elements for a happy life, but still struggle with stress, relational problems, self-esteem, and work issues. Something is missing or preventing fulfillment and it is our collaborative efforts that help us discover and remove those barriers.

Do you struggle with work stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, or chronic health issues? I'm happy to help you find the peace you deserve if you are ready to put in the work to put these issues behind you once and for all.

Mark’s first love has always been in practice with family and individual counseling. After managing, he decided to enter into private practice, currently with the Mindful Therapy Group. Mark provides individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy services to people with a variety of mental and emotional difficulties including depression, anxiety, attention deficit, multiple personality, anti-social and other personality issues. Mark has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults from different backgrounds, cultures, and unique circumstances.

Are you sometimes overwhelmed by your feelings, as though they are in control of your life? Do you find yourself running into the same frustrations in your life or relationships and confused about how to make meaningful change to those patterns? I help clients heal and move beyond difficult emotions and life experiences. Perhaps you are finding yourself stuck at a crossroads. I help clients discover what will bring them happiness and peace and then take the steps of realizing that vision.

I specialize in helping adults and adolescents who are struggling through difficult life situations. My hope is that my clients will begin to emerge from the experience with strength, insight and a sense of empowerment to address the next challenge with grace. Using a strengths-based approach, I employ concepts of cognitive therapy and mindfulness to increase self-awareness and choice within life's challenges. I also use EMDR, an evidence-based approach, to help release the impact of past experiences on current emotions, thoughts and behaviors including traumatic events and childhood trauma.

I help individuals improve the quality of their lives and life experiences. My work for the past eight years has been focused on general practice with a specialty in addiction and co-dependency all within a relaxed and respectful environment. I work with individuals and couples to promote hope, health, and wellness by creating a safe space conducive to facilitating change, reflection, and interpersonal growth. My goal is that each person feels supported to become the best possible expression of themselves, in a responsive and non-judgmental environment.

I offer individual, couple, and family therapy. I am a systemic therapist. I believe your community, your family of origin, and the greater world in which you live all impact your situation. My focus is on promoting your strengths to help you achieve your goals. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions, but the common thread that links them is Mindfulness. In my work with couples, I apply Gottman theories to your preferred family structure. I enjoy exploring gender identity and also enjoy working with people to strengthen their relationships with themselves and others who are important in their lives.

Effective 5/23/23, I am only providing services to clients seeking psychological evaluations. No counseling services are offered in my practice. Evaluations are commonly sought for concerns, such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Specific Learning Disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, to name a few. Some clients who are experiencing Gender Dysphoria also seek evaluations to support medical transition services.

I offer empathetic counseling working with trauma and attachment issues. If you are suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, physical pain, or an inability to feel as connected to yourself or others, I can help you. My goal is to provide a safe environment that uses the innate wisdom of the body with the mind to heal, and enable my clients to create a better relationship with themselves and others as they expand the ways they feel limited in the world. I have over 30 years of working as a counselor. I am currently offering online and phone sessions.

Seeking out counseling is a courageous act of support that you give yourself and is a challenging and rewarding process that is full of support and deep exploration. I am excited to talk with you about what you are experiencing and how to move forward through the challenges you are facing today.

Let’s face it, modern life is stressful. With constant demands on your time and attention, it’s not surprising that you’ve neglected what used to be your north star – your relationship. This may leave you feeling disconnected from your partner & trapped in a cycle of go-nowhere fights. You probably miss the spark that made you excited to see each other at the end of the day. You long for the days when the two of you were in love. I am on a mission to create a better world by helping couples build stronger relationships. People in healthy relationships feel better, get more done & contribute to positive change in the world.

Anxiety, depression, and the impact of trauma in our life and story often prevents us from living the life we yearn for. Martin Buber once said, “All real living is meeting.” We humans seem built for connection, for meeting, for encounter. We thrive when we are able to deeply see and be seen by another. Yet, all humans also experience barriers to connection. How can psychotherapy help? Psychotherapy can become a place to experience belonging and attunement, to discover ways there have been maladaptive patterns of disconnection in your life, and to imagine new ways of living that will bring you relational healing.

I have 28 years experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, families and children. Your goal for therapy is my goal. My role is to accompany you on your journey of healing. No one knows your story better then you - and I want to hear your story and help you determine what direction you want your story to take.

Relationships are hard work. Navigating what you want from life while considering what your partner/partners may wish to do can be daunting. Having questions about your relationship? How about your sex life? Has the excitement of your relationship and sex life turned into a mundane list of chores to cross off? Wait ... what about passion!? Or Intimacy!? Or heaven forbid you might ask, "What if I want to try that new thing ...?" You are far from being alone with these thoughts. Most people ask these questions when they are in a relationship with others. That's why I am here: to help answer these questions in a supportive space.
