My name is Mark and I am a solution-focused Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I am an upbeat, optimistic person who brings humor and energy to sessions. I work hard to create a safe and comfortable environment where we can explore, discuss, problem solve and create solutions that make sense for each client.
I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but employ other approaches as well depending on the issues at hand. I see my role with a client is to help them understand themselves and the challenges they face better so that navigating life situations and issues becomes easier. I will listen, support, respectfully challenge, guide and help to balance objectivity in thinking and actions.
Clients who work with me feel that I hear them and that I understand them. In doing so, the client and I are able to create more specialized plans toward achieving the client's goals. The therapeutic process is built on trust and understanding and those tenets are always in my thoughts when working with a client. Working with the client ensures the best possible outcome for them and their specific situation or issue, leading to a happier, more fulfilling life.
