I've worked with Mark for longer than any other therapist that I've tried and I am glad that I've been able to. Mark has been very helpful in working with me on re-framing patterns that I find myself getting caught in and I think he's good at finding a balance of listening to me and noticing when it would be good to ask questions or explore things further. I'd definitely recommend Mark as a therapist.

Mark does a great job of letting you lead and then gently guiding you towards resolutions. I'm really happy I've been working him him for a while now and he doesn't make me feel like I need to share any more or any less than I naturally do. I'd definitely recommend him.

More about Mark

Are you having thoughts and feelings that are self-critical, overwhelming, don’t mesh with your values, or are you procrastinating on your goals? Perhaps you and your partner are struggling in your relationship. I would be happy to help you. Sadness or anger may weigh us down. Trauma is often at the root of all of these, and I will honor your direction in how directly you choose to address the trauma.

I work with clients, both individuals and couples, who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma; some have family members with addictions or a severe mental illness. In gaining skill in identifying and evaluating thoughts that often go unnoticed and un-checked, you can improve how you think and how you feel.

The process can be hard, you are worth it, I am so glad you are reaching out!

About online counseling

Affordable.

There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
