Most of us want to be good people who have our needs met and enjoy our family and friends. Most of us struggle at times to get there. We need a little help: Someone to listen, help us think things through, or to give us some coaching about life and relationships. Or maybe we are in serious trouble and really need professional help. Taking that next step is often scary. For 30 years, Mark has helped 1000s. 85-90% of his clients say they are very satisfied with their counseling. He's genuine, accepting, effective. Ready to take that step? Schedule online through our website: a secure client portal.
Everyone is unique. Mark listens and asks questions that help you share your story. He shares what worked for others, research-based interventions, and options so you can make good choices. Together you find solutions that help meet your goals. Mark reads current research but shares it simply because change isn't easy!
The first minutes in counseling can be awkward. Mark makes you feel at ease and clients often laugh and say they feel heard, not judged. When leaving, folks say they feel better and have hope. Mark is a Christian but many of his clients aren't. If you want Christian counseling, let him know.

Couples generally come in hopeless, have some hope after the first session, soon enter a peaceful state, and choose to stay together (85-90 percent). Anxiety occurs for a reason and, when its root is dealt with, remits. Adult trauma/PTSD is similar though childhood trauma is more challenging yet curable if/when the client is ready to deal with it.
