About Dr Mark

For 15 years, the world of commissioned sales kept me busy, but it wasn't fulfilling. Battling a 20-year struggle with substance abuse, I hit rock bottom on October 9th, 1992. It was then that I found solace and support in a 12-step community, which I still consider my home.

​

This marked the beginning of my profound journey. Clean and sober since October 10th, 1992, I embarked on a quest for growth, fueled by an unshakeable resolve. Returning to college three years into recovery, I earned an associate's degree, followed by a bachelor's, a certificate in substance abuse counseling, and eventually, master's and doctorate degrees in clinical psychology. My quest for knowledge didn't stop there – I further pursued a post-doctoral degree in clinical psychopharmacology.

​

Since 1995, I've dedicated my professional life to mental health. Starting as a volunteer in a social detoxification program, I've held various positions in diverse settings, both inpatient and outpatient milieu.  

Embracing innovation, I leverage modern technology to offer convenient and accessible coaching through remote platforms. This flexibility allows you to receive personalized guidance from the comfort of your own space, regardless of location.

​

Today, my passion lies in sharing my experience, strength, and hope. Witnessing personal growth on individual, couple, and family levels brings me immense joy. My unique journey equipped me with valuable insights and empathy, allowing me to connect with clients on a deeper level and provide them with genuine support.
