Mark has been a valuable resource for my husband and me during a challenging period in our marriage. His approachable demeanor created an immediate sense of ease for both of us. He demonstrates genuine curiosity, attentive listening, and asks insightful questions. He effectively provides suggestions while encouraging us to identify strategies that may better suit our relationship patterns. Thanks to his guidance, we have made significant progress in a relatively short amount of time.

Mark is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist. He is a great listener, and while his suggestions and ideas are based off his expertise, he raises them in a personally relevant way.
