More about me

Years in Practice: 30 State: Virginia

I am licensed in Virginia with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

I've been seeing Mark for the past 6 months, and it's been amazing. While I have so much yet to learn about my life and how to improve it, it's life-changing to have someone in your corner looking out for you and willing to honestly tell you what he thinks you can do to make things right.

Mark has been a great help to me. Great listener, give great advice & has helped me see things from a different perspective. He always has time for me even when I’m texting or calling at the last possible minute of the day

Overall

Mark has been great to have as a therapist. I’ve never had a therapist before & he has been great at allowing me to bring up various areas in my life that present challenges to me, & he’s helped me focus on specific things to improve in my own life while also learning to be patient with other things that I don’t have any control over.

So far my experience has been good and he listens well and catches things I say and comes back around to them or ask further questions if something seems off or needs more elaboration. Only had 3 so far but i look forward to moving forward.
