I completed my graduate studies in both marriage and family therapy and theology at the University of Rochester and Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School. I have been a practicing clinician for over twelve years. In that time I have helped hundreds and hundreds of people embrace the highs and graciously handle the lows of life.

I offer insightful counseling in a welcoming, judgement-free space. I specialize in couples therapy, relationship issues, and helping individuals cope with and overcome symptoms of anxiety and depression. I focus on the whole person, knowing no one is simply the sum of their symptoms. I blend a variety of therapeutic modalities to address the full range of my patients’ needs.

In session, I am an active therapist, providing feedback and provoking new ways of thinking through dynamic conversation. I readily engage with any issue brought up, and occasionally incorporate humor into our work. Together, we’ll cultivate a safe, comfortable environment in which personal growth takes priority.

When I’m not working, I enjoy trail running and spending time with my wife and two kids.

Understanding the Benefits of Working with a Marriage and Family Therapist

“Mark clearly has a passion for counseling. He always made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported. He is honest and straightforward, which I find helpful, and he often eases my tension with humor. I went to Mark looking for ways to heal my struggling relationship. He helped me articulate my buried fears, and see things in a new way. His insightful guidance gave me tools to use at home. Most importantly, his patient encouragement helped me reconnect with my self-worth, values, and goals. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a caring and motivated therapist.”
