Holding it together, yet feeling like it’s falling apart?
From the outside, it looks like you’re managing everything.
Inside you’re wondering how long you can keep doing this.
You might recognize these experiences:
Always carrying too much without relief
Overthinking and pushing through everything is exhausting. The ways you’ve always coped just aren’t working anymore. Now the pressure is affecting your relationships, your work, and even the person you want to be.
On a lonely island even when you’re around others
You show up for others, but it’s like you’re acting. Parts of you still feel invisible. It's frustrating when people really don’t get you. Inside you long to be fully yourself and be seen that way too.
“Here we go again” moments in your relationships
Despite your best efforts the same arguments keep returning. One reaction triggers the next. Then suddenly you're angry, shutting down, or saying things you wish you could take back.
And yet you still believe: This isn’t us, we can do better!
Distance and lack of intimacy
You’d like your love to grow. But whenever you try to offer love and affection, you end up feeling confused and rejected. Over time, life changes, stress, parenting, aging, and past hurts can make giving and receiving affection feel more complicated.
Why this keeps happening
We're wired to seek safety and security in our closest relationships. But when safety breaks down, our protective reflexes often disconnect us from ourselves AND push others away instead of drawing them closer.
The problem isn’t that you’re defective — it's that certain patterns take over when deeper emotions never find resolution.
Many of the people I work with find themselves stuck in what I call anxious reaction cycles — where hurt, anger, or fear take over their attempts to change. Over time, this gets discouraging. You wonder why trying harder never seems to help, especially when others can’t tell how much you care.
Therapy helps you engage these deeper emotions and shift out of old cycles, so respond in ways that reconnect you with yourself and the people you love.
If this feels familiar, we can start there.
hey, i’m Mark.
You deserve a guide who meets you where you are and helps you move forward.
Your hope, questions, curiosity and even skepticism are all welcome here.
When we feel safe and truly accepted, we can let ourselves be real. Then, we can take new action that creates meaningful change.
I’ll guide you through this process so you can feel steadier, communicate more intentionally, and build more fulfilling connections in your life.
SPECIALIZING IN:
marriage & couples counseling
Conflict and distance don’t have to define your relationship. We’ll slow down defeating cycles, get to the root of the issue and build new ways to communicate that restore trust and intimacy.
trauma & Attachment
Past experiences often live in the body and nervous system, including old ways of adapting to emotional threat or neglect. They shape how you think and carry yourself. We’ll process the emotions underneath so protective reactions stop taking over the moments when you’re trying to be at your best.
therapy for helping professionals
You gain so much fulfillment from supporting others. Yet, it’s hard to believe you could ever be seen like you do for others. Here, you get to be just you for you. Reconnect with the deeper source of your strength.
grief & loss
When you’re surviving a loss, it can feel like a part of you is literally missing. Therapy helps you find direction through grief and rediscover your way to live in your life again even when it feels like everything’s changed.
HERE’S HOW WE BEGIN
1
Schedule a free consultation
A no-pressure 15-minute phone call where you can share what’s going on and ask any questions.
2
cover the details
If it feels like a good fit to continue, we’ll discuss scheduling, session format (in-person or online), cost and next steps.
3
your first session
We work to regain clarity and emotional balance from the start.
You’ll start responding in ways that feel true to you.
Together, we'll slow things down and find clarity.
Problems have layers.
So does your story.
We'll make space for more than surface issues. If a challenge is intersecting with your culture, spirituality, sexuality or another important part of your identity, it has a place in our work together.
I offer safe, affirming therapy for:
• LGBTQ+ individuals and couples
• People experiencing spiritual crisis or religious harm
• Those wanting to integrate their faith and mental health
