Introduction

Hi! I'm Mark. I work with middle schoolers, teens, and adults to manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotion. I partner with many people with neurodivergence, including autism, ADHD, and other learning disabilities. I have a background in CBT, including DBT and ACT. Collaborative skill-building to tackle problems and build a more fulfilling life is my jam.
